Hi, Seoul fest fireworks

At the Hi, Seoul festival earlier this month, I was lucky enough to see fireworks put on by Groupe F, who are world famous for their pyrotechnic displays. Only the term fireworks doesn't really do it justice; it's more of a performance art and light show set to music. See for yourself:

The final picture is of a man suspended in the air, running in place over a projected globe. Hypnotic, mesmerizing stuff.

There were more traditional pyrotechnics as well. Here's a professional-quality video from a tourism site (travelinkorea.co.kr) of the opening of the show. This was just the opening, mind you. The full display lasted about 45 minutes:


Does anyone who attended have better images of the show? Feel free to post a comment or link to your shots below.
