Photo roundup: This was Ignis Brunensis 09, fireworks festival for 1,574,000 spectators

Ignis Brunensis 2009 is over. According to a press release, the fireworks and other events were seen by 1,574,000 spectators (not including the Museum night, Night of churches and Motor show), which is a new record.

(I can easily imagine how were those exact numbers created, but… let’s shut up and celebrate.)

I found some great photos at photo-sharing site Flickr, although there’s no sharp picture of the last Friday’s wonderful Grandfinale (by SFX Barrandov). Anyway, enjoy these pics and galleries:

Ignis Brunensis 2010 will start on May 21 and end on June 6 – I’m really looking forward!
