The 2014 New Year's Fireworks in the sky over Øresund

Our Christmas tree came to play more than a supporting role in my pictures of the New Year's "international firework" as observed from my balcony. The Christmas tree was standing right in front of me, so I could not avoid it. On the other hand, I think it actually adds a reference point to the images.

By "international" I mean that I am able to enjoy fireworks both on my side (Swedish) and the Danish side of the Øresund strait. The Danes have a particular liking for fireworks, which is why the "show" usually goes on their side quite a lot longer than here. In the last picture you can see Danish fireworks in action when most of the Swedish ones already had stopped.
