(Original gif image created from a photo taken yesterday at the 71st annual Nagaoka Hanabi Taikai, the third largest fireworks festival in Japan. The festival was created in the aftermath of WWII, to cheer up the people of Japan in the wake of the murder, death, loss and destruction wrought by the war. “May the bombs of the world turn to fireworks.”)
