Devilish fireworks

These are the Diables d’Igualada, who put on an exciting and colorful daytime fireworks display in the Catalan section of the Smithsonian’s Folklife Festival.

About this kind of group from Wiki: The correfocs, in which "devils" play with fire close to the onlookers, is one of the most striking of the Catalan festive events. The devils are not considered the incarnation of evil; they are sprightly and festive characters, dancing to the sound of drums and the traditional gralla, while they set off their fireworks."

A short VIDEO from part of their performance, shot by Tim. I'm no longer able to embed videos on Pbase so go to http://vimeo.com/278851836

That's pretty much exactly the color that we used in Vietnam to mark for incendiary rounds. Not my favorite, but definitely colorful. V
