Festa time in Malta - part 8

Fireworks - an important aspect of the Maltese festa. Very colorful, very frequent and very loud, they illuminate the Maltese skies all through the summer, as every parish would have its own exhibition of fireworks. When neighboring towns celebrate feasts close to each other, fireworks enthusiasts compete with each other as to which is the most colorful, most complicated firework, and at times, the loudest. 

These are a few photos I took recently on August 5th on the eve of the feast of the Transfiguration of Jesus at the town of Lija. They are not the best photos, but I'm sure you can appreciate them nonetheless.
