The haze will be the smoke from the fireworks themselves I would imagine Craig, great photos however. I miss Guy Fawkes night Cry

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

No chance. You live in Birmingham and fireworks remain on sale intill new years. So you'll have people letting them off for months yet. Grin

Thanks for the comments guys,
I wouldnt care so much if the 11pm laws were followed and enforced. Its just gone 12:30am and still fireworks are going up, and at midnight i heard the loudest non-display firework i have ever heard. Whether its lack of public knowledge of the 11pm law or the sheer ignorance of the general public, i dont know but something needs to be done. I dont hate fireworks in general, i love the public displays heck one of my fondest memories is the July 4th display in america a few years back. But these public sale fireworks are getting ridiculous.
Thanks again guys.

These turned out better than the ones I took back in the summer. Wink

On the subject of fireworks, there's not much point in bringing in these laws if they're impossible to enforce. I've felt for a long time that it's the sale of the fireworks themselves that should be banned, unless they're for an organised public display. Of course, no government would dare do that for fear of upsetting the firework manufacturers. Roll Eyes

I enjoy a good firework display myself, providing it's properly organised. There's too many spoilports around these days who seem to hate to see anyone enjoying themselves. If they don't happen to like it their answer is to ban it. If you think you're suffering maybe you should go to Lewes on bonfire night sometime. Wink

LOL...I know the pain...Our little neighbor kids that are only 10 and 12 tend to always have a constant suply of bottle rockets...Though they are illegal in Indiana and kids that young shouldnt be messing around with them anyhow (especialy when they are never being supervised by their parents)...They tend to set them off all year round, and never pay attention to the 10 PM noise law in this town Angry

The police refuse to do anything about it and we have learned to just put up with it over the year and half we have lived here...But they found our true feelings about it a few months ago when one of their bottle rockets zinged off my bedroom window at nearly midnight ripping the screen... And yet the police still wont do anything Angry

...But they did have to pay for a new screen...

Nice shots BTW Wink
