Spectators in Sochi's Olympic Park were given an evening show to remember as the 2014 Winter Games come to a close with an elaborate firework's display.

Above Fisht Stadium, Russia painted the sky with explosions in soft colors, in contrast to the muscular, assertive spectacle that kicked off the Games.

Now that the Olympic flame has been put out, Sochi hands over to South Korea for the 2018 Winter Games in host city Pyeongchang.
