This is what Rotterdam looked like most of the evening. This is around midnight and it kept up, about like this, until around 3 am. These are not the official city fireworks (those were out over the Erasmusbrug which is on the other side of my building). These are all personal fireworks which, apparently, every Rotterdammer and his brother had bought by the truck load.
