Bamboo cannon!

Young gunner has cannon loaded with powder and is ready to set fire as more or less anxious friends wait for the blast!Salutations-Laurent

This brought me back to my own youth and the fascination the neighborhood kids (and myself) had with firecrackers and especially cherry bombs. They were powerful enough to send a tin can rocketing high into the air. I guess kids around the world wherever they are just like to see things blow up.

Jack...You are right;I don't really recollect,but it was at a particular time of the year when these cannons appeared all over...maybe at the end of Ramadan.In any case,what preoccupied me was that when these were fired,there was always a crowd and a lot of young kids...but I guess it was ok as nobody else seem to worry.Salutations-Laurent

Great documentary in form of a group portrait, mon ami! PDE

Pierre...Thank you;kids are always very willing to pose in group especially when they have great toys like here.Salutations-Laurent
