| 説明 | concentration... watching the ignition for just the 'right time' to let go of the fire rocket!!!--------------------------For 9 days, each day another trade/profession will pay for shooting off the hundreds of rockets. the first ones at 6am - then 12 noon - then7pm.... and the Rocket-Castle at 11pm at night. Yesterday was the Bricklayer's turn, always the loudest day of them all!! I went to the yard behind the church from where they'll be launching the rockets. This aparently is not for the public, it's a dangerous undertaking and the gates were closed behind the coheteros. And i was locked in with them, nobody has told me to leave... they let me take pictures!!!All of a sudden i noticed 5 men were lighting up cigarettes, then the "supplier' brought bundles of rockets and the coheteros started lighting them with their cigarettes, holding them between two fingers until they had catched fire before letting go. This is a dangerous and critical moment, because almost instantly after ignition, a huge fire beam would shoot from the rocket to the ground and the rocket was launched... handheld!!! A total of 1300 rockets were shot up into the air, in a 30-minute time frame, accompanied by a concert of ringing church bells.Most rockets were launched, as you see here, bare handed!! Others were launched all lined up and stuck in some wooden- or metal frame support. Thus, by igniting the first one, some 50+ rockets would explode simultaneously... like machine-gunfire, Wow, what an experience!!!! - I took a few hundred shots (in brackets), just to catch that beam of fire, but neither the fire-beam, nor the explosions of the rockets up in the blue sky showed up much on my images taken in broad daylight, just a lot of smoke. I will look for a night shot in my archives, where the beam of fire is very visible and impressive.texture added - texture by Skeletalmess, Thank You!!! |
