Guy Fawkes was a Catholic conspirator in the Gunpowder plot of the 5th of November, 1605. What is the Gunpowder plot, you ask? Well...
The Gunpowder plot was a group of Catholics who tried (and failed) to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London to assassinate King James I... who wasn't keen on allowing the practice of Catholicism (all UK residents reading this blog- my apologies if I butchered the history- I think this is right... but please, correct me if I'm wrong! This wasn't in any history class I've taken...)
Today, Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated with a large bonfire and a firework show. Which I was more than happy to attend. Hope you enjoy the photos! And keep in mind, I had no tripod. So... I got creative with my photo-taking technique. :-)
The first one is my attempt to make an octopus out of a firework. :-)
