Fireworks and Full Moon
It has been several years since there last was a public fireworks display in Whitehorse and back then they always took place on Canada Day ... in the season of perpetual light!! A new annual tradition (hopefully) has begun this year with fireworks presented more appropriately at the end of February on the occasion of the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous. They were shot off from atop of clay cliffs across the Yukon River from Shipyards Park where the festivities are held. In spite of the season, it wasn’t exactly dark with the full moon competing for brilliance in the same general area of the sky. If that detracted at all from the viewing impact of the incendiary bursts, the additional ambience certainly didn’t hurt for photography.
