The New Year

I had the pleasure of spending the coming of the new year with my closest friends. The evening started with a visit to the parents for some food and mingling, both areas in which my skill levels are low. I quickly ducked out and proceeded with JohnJohn, as planned over to Bigmac's place. There, we ate tacos and then watched Star Wars Episode IV. DVD Edition. On a projector.

Halfway through the movie we realised that the time had come for the thing that we were planning, and so we set off in the car to the place of the event.
The "thing" was a flight over Stockholm during the moment of New Year, to observe the fireworks from high up in the sky.

The sight was extraordinary and even JohnJohn, who is NOT easilly impressed, expressed awe and wonder at what he had seen. This is something that happens less then once a year.

I did some films for your enjoyment, but I have not yet cut them together into a presentable movie, nor have I had time to upload the uncut versions. I will do at least one of the aforementioned actions tomorrow. For now, enjoy these pictures taken with my mobile, because the battery on bigmac's camera, ran out before I had a chance to snap good photos.
