I was working on What's happening in Sydney, when I was reminded of the awesome New Year Fireworks spectacular that has become such a feature of the Sydney New Year.
Here is a great HD video posted by Sebastian (supARGH), which he introduces with the words "This is what 5 million dollars buys you in pyrotechnics!":

Every year on the Greek island of Chios, shortly past midnight on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, there takes place a most extra-ordinary event.

Strictly illegal, but I think that the police would not get far if they tried to shut down this very old, traditional Easter custom.
