The Blackheath firework display and Bernini's Angels on the Ponte Sant'Angelo
The Angel Bridge was one of my favourite sights in Rome. The bridge was built by Hadrian in 136, and enlivened by Bernini in the 17th century with his beautiful angels. We saw it at night and in the early morning. It leads over the Tiber to the Castel Sant Angelo-on the sight of Hadrian's mausoleum.
Fireworks and angels seem to go together quite well.
The firework in the bottom left of the last picture looks like a heart, or angel wings. I like the way the people are lit around their outlines. It was a good display. Blackheath falls into the boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham, so traditionally both share the cost. This year Greenwich pulled out of paying at the last minute so well done Lewisham!
