I took these pictures around midnight from my window, and yes, they are shooting the fireworks between the buildings.  This is not a professional fireworks display.  These were legally bought by local residence and they were going off everywhere around us along with thousands of firecrackers.  It was a spectacular display of celebration.  I can’t wait to see what the next few days holds in store.  This is my first Chinese New Year in a Chinese Country, and I’m very excited!
