Today (August 1) is the Swiss national holiday. As in other countries fireworks are what they have (this year due to the dry weather it is forbidden though). The unique thing in Switzerland is that they also have huge fires on top of thousands of hills all over the country. This must look spectactular from up in the air. Of course firefighters will have even more to do to watch them this year.
