Geoff,
I remember very well the fireworks, as I have burns on my arm and back from 
those crazy fireworks just a few feet away from the crowd.  But what a show, 
even with the hazards, it was an event not to be missed.  My M8 faired far 
better than I. ;)

Cheers,
Gene

Haah! no fear!
At the Correfocs (fire run) here in Catalonia we stood our ground (mostly!)
with 2 M's, an M9P an M8 and a Nikon when fireworks were showered into the
crowd by the "devils". A UV filter and minor amounts of skin and hair were
sacrificed. When the incoming was particularly intense there were children
to hide behind!
 Unbelievable
