It just went crazy here at midnight, in that Belgian city where fireworks are illegal on New Year's Eve. Just before midnight it sounded like a warzone. 19 minutes later and there are still explosions but it's no longer the ENTIRE city anymore.
Kids on the streets, neighbours too, some rain, and cloud cover. Weather Underground tells me it's 7 celsius as I write this.
And so it is, 12 hours after New Zealand crossed over into 2014, we've arrived too. Happy new year to you. I'm posting a shot taken in New Zealand around this time last year. The tree with the red flowers ... the NZ Christmas tree. The Pohutakawa. Cooks Beach.
Note: In Belgium, in general, it's only illegal if you're caught ... or that's what the locals tell me.
