Nikki, Wow you must be very proud of this! I like it too, its really good. [righton] [righton] [righton] [righton]

You probably know, July4 in America is celebrated with Fireworks! Our independance from Brittain. Most communities hire experts to come and shoot off specktacular fireworks. Our nearby community shoots them over the ocean. Many people lay down on blankets in the sand on the beach and watch the overhead display. Some say better than LSD. Does your country have a similar annual event using fireworks?

Speaking of lights in the sky, I hope you are following the Martian exploration (rovers sending pictures) http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov


Joyfully

Joy - in Canada it's July 1st (Canada Day) we treat it the same as you do though

[bustagut] Ahaaa that's right, I forgot you were freed too! Looking back the English were pretty descent to us. I'm not sure the American tax payer is better off or not [:I \:] \:] \:] \:]

Thanks Joy

Yes in August there was every year a huge fireworks festival with participants from all over the world.
But.... since the tragic 13th of May 2000 when a firework factory in Ensched exploded which caused a mass destruction and
costs many lives, it has been canceled for two years though i'll expect it to back soon.

Hello, DODO! and please receive my belated welcome to PSG...
Why did you choose Dodo as a name? It reminds me my holidays at the Reunion island... they call their beer dodo...

Good fireworks everyone!

Dodo

Thanks Spectre/Pierre. I've found the PSG forum to be both inspiring and very helpful - evident from this post for one. It's great how people positively participate. Great stuff there Nikkie - I like the colours and sense of explosive movement - or something! <insert suitably descriptive artistic commentary here>. I'll have to try my hand at this again ... tomorrow... [sleepy].

Oh and the name came from a John Doe email address of mine - a variation on the theme - John Dodo. It also expresses my Photoshop knowledge ("as dumb as a ...."). Hey, one of these days I might get upgraded to turkey, and that's nothing to frown at!

If you are upgraded to that grade, be careful in November...

I remember a tutorial about brush creation whose result was a firework, but can't find it...

Nikkie

Thanks Dodo

BTW did you know that is was due to the Dutch sailors in the 17 th
century that the dodo is an extincted species today ??? [confused] 8[ you better upgrade right away
