Description:

We went down on the beach, each carrying rockets and smoke bombs, another one a bucket containing a mixture of sugar and weedkiller, others matches and a camera.
A large garage103 was drawn in cursive with the sweet flammable mixture and we lit one end of the text that ignited like wildfire, producing a large cloud of smoke. The text consumed, we lit the coloured rockets that also produced smoke. We went from one fire to another, successively, saluting the passers-by that stood still there on the Promenade.
When the fireworks went out, we left and the word Garage 103 remained written there for several weeks, until the sea wore it away.
