How cool is that?!... every tagger's dream. It's like an 'uber-sophisticated' etcha-sketch... if you think about it... :lol:
That laser must be kick-ass...


Ok, so the guy who put this little display together must have lots of time on his hands... at least he gets paid well for it. This is a little appetizer... New Year's fireworks in Sydney (I know a council that maybe has too much money on their hands). You're right, Twisty... we don't do things by halves here (sorry you can't see it but I know you've seen it anyway :hug:)... check it out...

"The show cost an estimated five million Australian dollars (£2.4 million) with thousands of the city’s four million residents queuing for harbourside spots some 12 hours before the main event. Police estimated that up to 1.5 million people watched the spectacle

Come what may, Sydney was determined to close the old year not with a whimper, but with a bang; with some 100,000 big bangs as the night sky was pierced by steepling sets of brocades, comets, fountains and glitter mines, and the international space station.
Such high-technicalities may have been lost on most late-night revellers, but as former New Year's Eve director, Leo Schofield, put it, Sydneysiders never tire of fireworks. "They're one of mankind's universal joy-bringers," he said.

In Sydney, a record crowd of up to 1.5 million people watched fireworks explode over the iconic Harbour Bridge.
The display, featuring thunder, rain and lightning effects, was the largest ever staged in the city. About 5,000kg of fireworks were used.
Organisers of the Sydney festivities said they were hoping it would offer revellers a brief respite from the economic gloom of 2008.

(Now, just remember, these are just a couple of little snippets. These vids feature the Sydney Harbour Bridge... which has 8 or 10 (something like that) lanes for traffic, PLUS a couple of train tracks. It's not a small structure. :shock: Add to that the fact that the show went for a good 10 or 15 minutes solid... at several locations along the harbour. BIG $ that could have been better used elsewhere, in my opinion. But hey, we Aussies love a party... :bigjoint:)
