Welcome to Calasetta. Act II.

...and this is the beautiful sea surrounding Calasetta.
Why put myself through hours of agony on a plane (I weep like a child through every single flight) to go to the Maldives or somewhere like that, when I can be here in 1 hour flat?
It's just as peaceful and stunning, with plants of aloea vera everywhere and gorgeous, fragrant white lilies scattered on the beach.
All you need is a Mojito with some fresh mint in your hand and you're done.
Heaven.

Fireworks&Fireflies.

Every year, in the summer, there's fireworks being done over the sea.
Crowds of people flock to the coast to admire them from different beaches as the pretty display can be seen from pretty much everywhere. It's always good.

This year, I thought I'd bring my camera along and try and shoot some.
What a massive mess that was!
I had no tripod, which I think it should have been a must.
With no technical knowledge about ISO and such I just played around with different shutter speeds.
When it became obvious that I was gloriously messing the whole thing up I decided to have fun and make the whole picture fuzzy to create little abstract shapes.

Anyway, here's my "Fireworks Experiments"...

And these are the abstract ones.

The one that looks like a lighted match:

And the one that looks like a smiley face:
