It poured heavily for a while and I thought there would be no celebration of fireworks this year. However, the rain stopped and the loud booms of the fireworks started up again. There were sooo many aerials this year... I decided to start taking pictures shortly after 11:45pm.
By midnight, it was wild!! The smoke was really dense. It was like a war of fireworks... I couldn't even hear the one that was supposed to be at the Halekulani Hotel. Where did people find so many fireworks?
Then all of a sudden, shortly after the stroke of midnight, someone shot off this grand aerial fireworks just off my street...It was sooo close...
The air quality was really bad and I could see the white fog that appeared in front of my eyes...
I took this panoramic of the Kapahulu and St. Louis/Kaimuki Hills just beyond these buildings... You can hardly see the lights on the hill.
By 1:30am, you can't even see past Kapahulu... although I missed the main firework displays, I got my own viewing of fireworks without leaving home...a pretty good deal, I'd say..
