Walpurgis Night - Valborgsmässoafton
Our spring celebration the last of April. For safety reasons my town celebrates the event at the local lake. With the fire on the water. Looks very nice but it does not warm you up when it is cold. And this evening was rather cold. The links tells a bit about the history but most people only means we celebrate spring! And this is the last day you are allowed to have open fires without permission. So people use this also to get rid of garden trash that will not go into compost.
The end of the celebration is a great firework.

Fireworks, and yes, the last one too, the camera set on longer time and no sharpness to create the BOKEH effect. It looks like tubes. :)

To be me this is a post with many shots. But I think it is worth it. Yesterday night, April 30th is the night when we celebrate spring in Sweden. We lit bonfires and have fireworks and special songs and things like that. Outdoors most of it. It is usually quite nice. I went there to see what my new camera equipment can do. I think it turned out well.

Förra veckan var det Valborgsmäss. I Katrineholm sker firandet i Djulösjön. Här paddlar de ut för att tända brasan 
Last week was the Celebration of sprin where I live. We celebrate it in Djulö with fire and firework. The shot above shows canoes taking the fire to the bonfire



Brasan ligger vackert i Djulösjön. - The bonfire is beutifully placed in the lake


Kvällen slutar som sig bör med fyrverkeri, och de hade verkligen slagit på stort den här gången. 
The celebration ends with fireworks. And this year it was biggger then usual. Nice!
