kaboom

end of festival fireworks viewed from the meadows.

there will be hunners of blips posted like this no doubt but it was pretty good this year. Highlight for me is the desperate commentary. "Very tight co-ordination", "like a bouquet of flowers", "shimmering" , "best yet", "think of the musicians unable to view the show.." and so on..

My cousin viewing it all from Inverleith park tells me there's a risotto stand. It's all so Edinburgh. A bit elitist, a bit camp, a bit of a total waste of money and a bit spectacular.

before anyone can contemplate the change of sponsorship from RBS to virgin money and the sycophantic choice of yet another "eastern" theme, the rain starts to fall and it's over. Flash bang, just like the fest.
