Ringing in the new year


The photo above comes from a gallery of about 40 images posted at Design You Trust.  Most of them depict conventional fireworks and celebrations.  This one, however, shows an old tradition...

It may be a time-honored tradition, but the image itself is spooky, looking ever-so-much like someone torching a homeless person.
