Whilst in Vancouver on a family holiday, I was lucky enough to see China's entry for the 2011 Celebration of Light fired from 2 barges in English Bay
I took some photos and videos and thought I would share them...

Some information about the show:
  • Two sand-covered barges anchored 300 metres from the shore at English Bay provide the stage
  • Length of the barge: 150 metres
  • Number of anchors positioning the barge: Six 4-ton anchors
  • Total amount of sand on the barge: 1000 tons
  • The sand is spread evenly 20 cm deep from one end of the barge to the other
  • Mortars planted into the sand.
