Photo for 2009 Chinese New Year! Ox Year starts on 1/26/2009.



This is just like a tradition, it has to come every year! Mooooo...

Tried to shoot the fireworks but done very badly. I took few through my dirty window.





I wasn't thought I would see many fireworks from different locations, I think at least 10 places were firing. I can hear people loudly said “Happy New Year!” and I have no idea where they were. Those fireworks consecutively lasted for about 20 minutes. 2009 has proved me that it is amazing from very beginning. And I never thought I could see so many beautiful fireworks at the same time from the window.

Again, Happy New Year to Everyone!

I saw few photos on Flickr use some different methods to write “2008” and this is my way! I use Mouse Track in KDE's Desktop Effects. The “light source” is five stars fly around mouse cursor. Few books to stack up for camera. B shutter and f/22. My chin to hold the shutter. Left hand to press Ctrl+Win and right hand moves the mouse to write. Background is an all black image created using GIMP. Showing in full-screen using Eye of GNOME. KDE on GNU/Linux from Fedora 10 distro.

Completely created in free way and that's my way.

Of course, there is a photo for 2009!



It's easy to welcome 2009, just hit the Enter key! (We enter 2009!)

Oh, just a reminder! Please don't celebrate too fast for 2009, we have an extra second to countdown! Hey, you can stay in 2008 for one more second (UTC or behind) or you can have extra second in 2009 (ahead UTC), isn't that great?
