Before the fireworks show began, there were several sailboats on the harbor with lights on the edges of their sails. The first picture shows one of these (more clearly visible in the lower left corner of the picture if you click for the enlarged image), with the city skyline in the background. The second picture shows a close-up of the same boat. |
