Fuck me, how awesome was this sunset!? Fantastic end of the year, no fireworks can keep up this night, that's for sure. Well, fireworks is very lame in my opinion anyways.

Bloody wonderful sunset
@lyse Niiice! 👌

Now get ready for a nifty little war simulation! 🥳 Err, I mean, guten Rutsch!

@lyse beautiful
After 05 I thought it was over, but then suddenly: red. Thanks @movq and @abucci! Yeah, same to you, komm gut rüber! War is raging for hours already. No kidding, there are not even ten seconds of no explosions. At least every two minutes it sounds like they're blasting entire rows of houses. The greatest fuckwits live around me. I'm sure all the Ukrainian refugees will love being reminded of their memories… Mankind is allowed to perish with pleasure.

Does anybody know, did some country declare war on New Year's Eve in the past? In my mind there's no better time to invade a country largely unnoticed for quite some time. Warlords, you're welcome.

Time to pack some warm tea, gingerbread, audio player and ear defenders to head out into the woods to search for some slightly quieter spot. I fear I won't find something suitable.
@lyse Very nice indeed! 👌 What a way to end the year 🥳

@prologic Ta!

Oh dear, in the forest it echoed like crazy. Absolutely horrible. The spot I had in mind did not turn out at all, so I went somewhere else. In-ear headphones and earmuffs on top worked like a treat. Only when someone shot with his tank, I heard something very dull. You could see how the gunpowder cloud formed over the towns. When I stepped out my hiding place I smelled all this crap. The streets look like a total disaster, there is rubbish lying around from garbage pigs everywhere.

Hope you had a nicer night, healthy new year!

Shit littering the environment
@lyse Fireworks sure do look nice, though. 😅 I’m surprised that you managed to take such good shots – it’s pretty finnicky to get the exposure right, IIRC. (I guess your camera had good auto-settings here.)

We were watching from our balcony. Well, not the balcony actually, we were behind the windows. You can’t watch fireworks from the balcony of a (small-ish) tower building, because the rockets will explode right in your face. 🧨

Where I live, it has actually gotten a bit better. Before Covid, people were shooting fireworks like maniacs. Then in 2020 there were basically no fireworks (I think there were restrictions back then), which was a little strange, but very relaxing. In 2021, some fireworks got replaced by laser shows – pretty cool! And this year we’re back to standard fireworks again – but not to the pre-Covid extent. They stopped sooner and I hardly remember any bombs going off today (January 1st).

@movq Hahaha, I'm super surprised how well they turned out, too! Didn't expect anything remotely like that. :-D It was the camera's magic fireworks program, that autofocused for four seconds and then took the best shots or I don't know exactly how that works. Only the photos from the closest village turned out to be any useful. Towns further away were too blurry and shaky with the zoom. Used a bench as makeshift tripod. Kept about 4% of footage.

I wish it would have become better here, too. But people were firing from all guns, like they had to catch up on two or three years at once. Not that last year was heaps better, but this time it was one of the worst. I just live in a stronghold of full jerks.

During daytime it was better than the last years I'd say, but when it went dark, the bang rate drastically increased. Definitely gonna use earplugs for the next two weeks in bed, that's for sure.
