Courtesy of the public fireworks display tonight in Whakatane, where things didn't go quite as planned...

Big pic, so click here

Sorry about the poor quality pic; I only had my phone on-hand.

Heheh. Still, it was a bit of excitement; that doesn't happen every day. There's nothing about it on any of the local news sites I know of... they must still be asleep :P
