The United Kingdom will be providing the show tonight.
Everyone, those pictures are great, I'll try to throw a few up later (I realize I'm already way slow on this).
Burnaby Hiker, that capture in Squamish is utterly surreal, fantastic! |

Some pics from a stormy Saturday night. It was pouring rain before and through the fireworks. Here are a few snaps, more so of the incredible sunset, haven't taken any stills from the fireworks vids yet.

I think it was the best show so far. It lacked the drama over a thundershower, but it was creative. There were several points when the Olympics theme came up (London 2012). Ryan you caught a nice one of rings, the pace was best so far. Great suspense and encore.
I'm going to miss China on Saturday, my vote is for the UK. |

I have to agree.. the best show this year yet!
Cant compete with Ryan's pics as I watched the show from my canoe on the water but I feel lucky any time I can get a shot to simply not blur while bobbing up and down on the water so here is one :p

Looking down from black mtn everything looked tiny. You can see how many boats there really are. Canada place is far left.

Thanks Ryan 
Actually I kinda do wish you were able to take some shots because I thought China put on one of the best shows I've seen in years, including some pyrotechnics I've never seen before but was unable to capture from on the water myself..
A quick bite on the beach after pimping out one canoe and one kayak with lights...
A perfectly pink sunset for the 6km paddle out to the fireworks barge..
We found a floating dock to tie up to for the show so I tried to get some shots that included our boats but as for fireworks pics, I'm thinking on shore with a tripod is the way to go.

Monster, I love the shots from the Canoe, a much more interesting vantage in my opinion. Well done, you went 4 for 4 on the canoe?
I missed Saturday as well, have they announced the winner? Err, just checked, the message is stay tuned... Its been 2 days since the finale, how long does it take to judge a fireworks show? |

| Thanks splitboarder, and yes, I got to see all four shows from the water. As for the best show, I have to say that if China doesn't win, the fix is in! |
