Fireworks Beijing 2010: Workers Stadium saves its firepower for midnight
The annual fireworks show at Workers Stadium looked like a no-go last night. Clubs along the stadium fringe usually regularly launch rockets for hours but last night the bulk of explosions came during the hour surrounding midnight when the place went ballistic. Here are a few shots — and, yeah, I realize they are a bit blurry.
The view west across Workers Stadium near midnight. The club zone is on the right and shelled out to entertain the Chivas and green tea crowd.
Another shot west: the fireworks at left come courtesy of building management, which bounces fragments off our windows each year.
The view toward Workers Stadium North. The green spotlight is at the new ice rink in front of A-Hotel, with relatively new club Hei Hei in the background.
They seem unable to fix our building's door but give these guys credit for blowing stuff up, though I didn't seeing anyone playing "let's see who can hang on to a lit firecracker the longest" this year.
That white line is a firework hurtling sideways because, well, I'm not sure, but maybe a box of exploding rockets got knocked over. It looks like it might make it to Buffalo or, with a good wind, Stadium Dog.
Happy New Year!
