A Setup

The firework show was set up on two barges: one to be positioned about 100m from the spectators (carrying the smaller stuff) and the other further out (~200m) with the bigger stuff.

You see the sandbox with the mortars and the racks of rockets.
We don't use rockets in normal displays due to the falling sticks, but far out on the baltic sea no one will be in danger.
Of course we are firing them away from the spectators.


The 'near out' barge
The other barge
You see the bombettes, roman candles and other smaller stuff.
One crew member is studying the plan in order to connect the right things (we're always firing electrical).

Everything bagged?
Almost done
As you see, it's really one of the smaller shows.
In expectation of the evening dampness everything is bagged and covered now.


A nice place - isn't it?

Setup of fireworks often has to be done in the last corners of remote properties. You can't always expect nice paved ways and places...
