Welcome to the year 2009

Here's a selection of pictures I took between Xmas and the New Year:

Staufen has an Advent calendar every year. People from the village create one window for each day, this year I found this one the best.

Although it got freezing cold on New Years Eve - the streets were basically ice-rinks - I went up the hill in our village to see the bonfire.

The next day showed winter in all its beauty - time for a nice shot of a blackbird eating holly-berries.

And last but not least: A whiteheaded maki at the zoo in Zurich wishes you all a Happy New Year!

I love your photos and it's exactly as I remember the 2004 new year to be like!

The fire didn't burn well the first half hour. The village people say it's going to be a tough year. I could tell without lighting up a 8m high pile of wood...
