A fan of light

Red and gold firework trails spread above water, where their reflection breaks into ripples.

Red, green and gold firework trails fan out over dark water, with rippled reflections beneath them.
Photography by Lu Heng

Thin red lines open into gold at their tips, with a few green streaks between them. Above the water, the fan is sharply drawn. Below it, the same colours wobble into separate marks.

The two halves almost mirror each other. It is the small differences in the reflection that make the water visible.
