Keywords: firework capital of culture capitalofculture liverpool project 365 project365 mersey waterfront crappy lousy picture lousypicture black background texture bright depth of field I feel quite ashamed putting up such a terrible photograph but I guess if this a life documentary then this captures what I was doing. Tonight was the 'transition night' where the Capital of Culture title was handed to Vilnius in Lithuania and Linz in Austria. This was accompanied with a celebration and firework display. The fireworks were short, but superb and I liked them a lot. Much has been said about the pros and cons of Capital of Culture status. At the start I was cynical, and I feel that at the end that cynicism was largely justified. We should have had a referendum saying "this will be brilliant but will cost you £xxx, do you want us to bid for it?" but that decision was made for us. Nevertheless, the deed is done, the ghosts are laid to rest and this particular chalice, poisoned or not, moves on to distant lands. Whatever your viewpoint, I stand by the title. Good luck Vilnius!
