Building, Bridges on Fire
Jan 2009: The crowd exploded when fireworks exploded off the buildings and bridge at the Sydney Harbor, and lit up the skies and waters.

Moon on Fire
Jan 2009: January 10, little Zoya's first birthday, also a spectacular full moon. Flames from the barbecue compete with the orange hue of the moon.
