Stunning pyrotechnics - Mexicans anneal at the fireworks festival

Every year, for nine days in a row, the Mexican town of Tultepec hosts a national pyrotechnic festival, which attracts not only pyrotechnics manufacturers and all kinds of onlookers. A significant part of the contingent is made up of pyromaniacs, who, apparently, get a lot of pleasure from the fact that immediately next to them, with a terrible roar, fireworks burst and fireworks fly by. New York-based photographer Thomas Prior visited the festival and took some impressive shots.
