Ciutat De Sant Adria Hotel

So there I was, enjoying a moment of quiet solitude atop beautiful Montjuic Park, when all of a sudden....BOOM! It sounded like someone firing a shotgun but something told me there were no hunting grounds nearby. I followed the sound of a couple more booms and found it coming from an unexpected fireworks display out over the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. I don't know why they were doing it, perhaps it had to do with ongoing New Year's festivities. Like many digital cameras mine has significant shutter lag, making 'action' shots nearly impossible. Yet, with a bit of remarkable luck I was able to capture one firework just as it exploded in a burst of white lights.
