Explosive Celebration
To celebrate a wedding in Muscat, Oman, a man shoots off a small, handheld cannon. The traditional device is passed down through generations of a family, with only the most experienced people handling it. It's loaded with gunpowder, not bullets, and sounds like a cannon shot when it goes off. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
