The Aviva Wall

I knew about Roger Waters's The Wall Tour for some time now. I missed seeing him and Pink Floyd live in 1994 but this time fortune came down my alley. I'm not a big Floyd fan, but I still wouldn't want to miss the opportunity. Thanks to my friends, we got a pair of tickets to see them live in Bucuresti just in front of Parliament House. The gig policy said no cameras or recording devices. Ha, what about smart phones, you phonies?! Anyway, knowing they will come to Dublin too I planned to be there and record the light show, which is greater if you are at the concert, not outside it. That said, myself and my buddy photographer were last night in pole position to record it. Good dusk light, just a tad chill. Here it is.

Me and my buddy were shooting star trails and the last image captured a huge fireball the exploded right in front of our cameras. The event was explained as "space junk" by the media.
