On the 17th, Kosovo celebrated it’s first year of independence. These are the fireworks pictures from Pristina. Weather kept me at home, but many others were out on the street in the snow and cold.

A group of artists came up with the idea for the NEWBORN sculpture and implemented it in time to unveil on the night of the declaration. It was setup and still sits in downtown Pristina in front of a shopping mall on one of the main streets.

Because of my job, I’ve had a rare opportunity. I’ve been in a country when it came into existance… Kosovo declared Independence on February 17th, 2008. These are some of the highlights of the fireworks pictures I took that night. Unfortunately, I was unable to go downtown to take pictures of the people celebrating.
