Every year in July they have this procession of ships cruising along the Rhine river at night and wherever the ships pass, fireworks will light up. They call it 'Rhein in Flammen' (Rhine in flames). I shot this from a vantage point high up in the hills when the ships reached Bingen (on the right) and Rüdesheim (on the left).
