Happy 2009 !

I wish it to be a very happy and prosperous year.
I watched the midnight fireworks, shot from the neighboring houses and from an apartment complex nearby. Collectively, people from the apartment complex could afford more fireworks than my immediate neighbors, but I could only see the colorful reflections of many of them in the sky because they were shot from behind five story buildings. I also didn't realize my camera required eons of time to take a picture of a night sky and had no idea when exactly it was taking pictures. Still, I managed to capture some of the quickly happening explosions. 
Happy New Year !
