New Years eve in Reykjavik, Iceland

A full view over Reykjavik at 12 o'clock new years eve 2008/2009, taken with my camera.
Note: No one was in any danger because of the fireworks above, they were close but not too close.

Crazy fireworks are what we Icelanders are very proud of when it comes to new years, there are no laws regarding firework ownership here so everyone just stacks up few tons and go ballistic!

Sorry for the average quality.
