Perhaps the most spectacular event in Australia is the annual Riverfestival in Brisbane … The locals arrange it in honor of the River, which nourishes numerous plants with life-giving moisture, turning this place into a blooming paradise! The embodiment of the Spirit of the River, according to the Aborigines, is the fiery birds that arrive in the spring. And, as if imitating the riot of natural colors, the Australians arrange a half-hour fireworks display - a real extravaganza of color and light!
Fireworks are launched from the Story Bridge: an incredibly beautiful river of fire merges with a real river, and the current immediately carries the lights into the distance, turning into a sparkling orange stream. The US Navy F11 "Tiger" fighters are also participating in this pyrotechnic show. In aerobatics, the planes roar wildly between skyscrapers about 9 stories high. The skill of the pilots always surprises the public, and professional photographers have the opportunity to take unique pictures. Shooting at a large exposure allows you to capture the trail of an aircraft that remains when fuel is burned.
Spectators usually come to the river where the show is taking place in advance in order to take the most comfortable seats. Streams of fiery light soar into the sky not only from bridges, but also from boats, as well as from the roofs of skyscrapers! All this is accompanied by music, to which the locals are dashingly dancing, welcoming the arrival of spring! For the first time such a pyrotechnic show was held in 1996 and since then is considered to be the hallmark of Brisbane! More information about the festival can be found on the website.
Another "business card" of Brisbane is the exhibition of fairy-tale drawings by Courtney Brims. The artist managed to create a whole world that is difficult to distinguish from a dream: in her paintings, everything exists outside of time and space. But the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama decided to embody children's dreams. In this Australian city, she initiated a shocking art project, the purpose of which was to involve young artists in decorating a snow-white room!

The unsurpassed Soviet underwater fireworks, or What the Behemoths did in the Barents Sea

But they burn, blow up, lift entire buildings into the air. Also, of course, for artistic purposes. Such creators include Cai Guo-Qiang, whose unusual exhibition called Sky Ladder recently opened in Los Angeles
