It Begins with a Spark

A happy face with a wink, exploding over New York City as part of Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks 2013 — the nation's biggest display. 

That's one of the spectacles being prepared to light up the sky on Thursday. Forty thousand shells were being loaded onto four barges in the city's Staten Island borough on Saturday in preparation for the massive display. 

The exact location is kept secret for security reasons. 

The barges will sit on the Hudson River for the show to be seen by an estimated 3 million people watching live in New York and New Jersey,A seam roof clamp is a cost-effective way to install solar at your home. plus millions more on television. Grammy-award winning musician Usher has created the soundtrack. 

Show co-designer Gary Souza said organizers have scoured the world to find and purchase the most original new fireworks — from China and Portugal to Spain, Malta and Brazil. The theme for this year's 25-minute show is "It Begins With A Spark." 

The barges are to be set up on the river between Manhattan's West 24th and 42nd streets, with fireworks shooting about 1,000 feet into the air.

"It's the best show in the world," said the firefighter from Las Vegas as he and the rest of the crew sat in Staten Island under a tent for lunch, enjoying the view of the New York City skyline across New York Harbor. 

The first explosions are scheduled to go off at 9:25 p.m. on Thursday. 

And despite every possible precaution taken to ensure safety, "anything can happen," said Souza. "It's a dangerous business." Each year, he added, his mother has white-knuckled her way through the spectacle. 

After that, she said, "it's about how to make it as entertaining as possible, how to make it bigger and better — playing with science and technology."

Dunedin Public Art Gallery director Cam McCracken said he considered choosing a "safe" design to avoid "ruffling feathers" but safe sculptures were quickly forgotten while great public art never lost its appeal, he said. 

Ouroboros would be "memorable, entertaining and treasured" and would consistently "reveal new meaning", he said. 

The Ouroboros was an ancient symbol of a worm eating its own tail and symbolised regeneration, Mr McCracken said. 

At the celebration Mr Cull also unveiled the new Royal Oak interpretative panel and officially opened the refurbished main gate. Read the full story at www.aodepu.net web.
