Amazing Picture....A must see

[Big Papa]

Explanation: Sometimes the sky itself is the best show in town. On January 26, people from Perth, Australia gathered on a local beach to watch a sky light up with delights near and far. Nearby, fireworks exploded as part of Australia Day celebrations. On the far right, lightning from a thunderstorm flashed in the distance. Near the image center, though, seen through clouds, was the most unusual sight of all: Comet McNaught. The photogenic comet was so bright that it even remained visible though the din of Earthly flashes. Comet McNaught continues to move out from the Sun and dim, but should remain visible in southern skies with binoculars through the end of this month. The above image is actually a three photograph panorama digitally processed to reduce red reflections from the exploding firework.

The image is from APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day). A NASA website.

The image description mentions that the image is a three photograph panorama that has had the red reduced to soften the firework display.

Yeah, I researched it before posting to make sure it was legit.

Something I noticed that's funny to me is the lightning in the area and there are still assholes in the water.

What, afraid of lightning? Hey, in the southern hemisphere, we eat that stuff for breakfast. Crocodile Dundee was kicked out of the southern hemisphere because he was a wuss.

With their Southern hemisphere speed, they can get out between the time they feel the prickle of an impending strike and the actual strike.

At first I thought, "Illusion or not, there's no fucking way those squares are the same color". I then saved the image to my computer and opened it with Paint. I then copied the B square, pasted it, and moved the paste copy over the A square, and sure as shit they are indeed the same color.
