Chaharshanbe Suri

yesterday had a crappy start, there a was a big storm which caused electricity goes off from morning! next stop was internet! it was down the whole day (sorry for the absence in commenting yesterday, will catch up today!)

but none of those could mess with our day! we were waiting for this day the whole year and we'd done it for thousands of years so we started it like every year at the start of the night and continued until we could breath!

we do several kind of fireworking at this day (mostly are on the ground and it's like a battlefield!) but the original celebration that we were doing from the first was jumping over the fire! which has a great philosophy behind it!

you can get more info about this celebration here!

as i'd promised we continued after 12 AM!

this is my elder brother jumping over the fire! he's taller and thinner than me so he could perform better jumps!

it was a good opportunity to test photography with high ISO speed too!
