We were fortunate to be in Honolulu at the time of its 24th Annual Festival which is held to promote Hawaii and Japan's call for peace while celebrating cultural exchanges.The theme this year was "Harmony over the Ocean, Journey to Peace" and a massive fireworks display marked the end of the festival, representing the pursuit of friendship and peace.
Sitting on the warm sand of Waikiki beach watching the fireworks, I took a few photos, but not many as I just wanted to enjoy as much of the wonderful display as possible. It lasted almost half an hour.

Superb closeup and I like the reflections on the water. Kathy is right about it being Chrysanthemum like.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

This is equally good as the other one. Nice details and good composition here too.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

It's ironic that such a fireworks display should represent peace between Honolulu and Japan, considering the fireworks that Japan brought there in 1941. Cooler heads are now prevailing... always a good thing.
