Sitting along the harbour of Paradise Island, just across from Nassau, Bahamas, at midnight the sights and sounds are overwhelming. A countdown from the bar, passing yachts’ horns, and the fireworks all along the shores of Altantis and Cable Beach.

It was not until the sun started rising that the energy really starts coming out! Junkanoo is a twice annually celebration of the holiday season, once on boxing day, and again here on New Years Day. Teams sponsored by organizations in the community work all year preparing elabourate costumes made out of all sorts of materials, choreographing dance and music, and
mustering spirit, for this intense competition.

This intense sound of cowbells, brass instruments, and every drum imaginable, has inspired a global music genre by the same name, and Junkanoo music can now be heard in many cities, and many festivals. Junkanoo Wikipedia

The Fireworks at the Sydney harbour

This panorama was shot from the Metronome (the former place of the giant Stalin Statue) at Letna Park, overlooking Old Town, and beyond that, the rest of Prague. New Year in Prague is typically dominated by a sense of chaos and anarchy, as the "fireworks show" is largely in the hands of the audience itself. Fireworks come out of every window, and often from just in front and behind you, wherever you may be!

This is the first minutes of the New Year 2007.

firework-shows on earth. The Reykjavik-city estimates that more than
500.000 fireworks will be used this year, weighting more than 1.000 tons!

On New Years Eve, people in Germany eat a lot of the traditional "Berliner" (short for "Berliner Ballen"), a donut like pastry, filled with jam. In Berlin it is called "Pfannkuchen". Be careful: when you order "Berliners" in Berlin, you will get an unexpected answer :-
