Candle flame

This is about as close as I got to a bonfire today. It was really strange seeing all lots of Guy Fawkes related trivia and comments online but not a hint of it here in Basel. I guess that makes sense given there wasn't a plot to blow up the Swiss government building in 1605!

I got my fair share of fireworks in August, around National Swiss day.

For anyone interested in what makes one firework green and another red, here's some info about the chemistry behind fireworks.
