Happy New Year 2014!
Happy new year from Finland! This was taken at the midnight fireworks put on by the Hotel Kultahippu in Ivalo. They just walk out on the frozen river, light the fuse and run. It was the closest I have ever been to fireworks, and the coldest new year I've experienced. The wind was blowing snow flakes into my eyes like sand, it was chilly! Everyone buys fireworks over here, people were setting them off up and down the river throughout the evening.
