All the colors of the Rainbow

I am not a New Year’s person, but Ahmad’s idea of facing the first hours of a new decade with an open, outdoor, and public display of crowd power was amusing.

I went with my family, but almost every one I know was there too, among with a few I got to meet tonight (hello guys :).

Happy New Year’s everyone!

    Lovely pictures. The only thing missing is crazy 2010 glasses; also those shiny coloured hats, confetti & party-whistles/blowers. Happy New Year!
