Fireworks again

I took some shots at this event last year, held in Nantwich (Cheshire), but from a different viewpoint this time. A short burst of heavy rain five minutes before the display started was a little offputting, but it soon passed. Once again I'd taken the Tamron 70-300, thinking that the more remote view would make it more suitable, though it turns out I could have done with being able to pull back a little further for some of the higher displays. And I wish I'd noticed those telegraph wires, though there wasn't much I could do about them and I don't find the annoying enough to try to clone them out - they're almost invisible in these shots anyway.

Groan. Thanks though, as I look at them this morning they're quite similar (though the post originally had twice as many), but then there's not much you can do with long exposure fireworks that varies much.
