New Year’s Eve is always spectacular, everyone celebrating the coming year with a sky filled with color from a thousand explosions.

But what is awesome from street-level becomes awesomely awesome when viewed from the air, as photographer Jeff Cremer showed by taking his drone up into the skies above Lima, Peru to film the festivities.

The flurry of fireworks shooting from streets and rooftops is incredibly beautiful when viewed from above, and Cremer stated after the release of the video that he wanted to get closer to the action but had to keep his drone at about 200m (656ft) high to avoid all the flak.

So take a little break and enjoy cascade of lights all over again, all thanks to Jeff Cremer and his trusty drone.
