Today is New Years Eve on the Chinese Lunar calendar.

I know the color scheme is a bit "American" but it is nevertheless festive.

Holiday lights on trees in Rosemont during the Holiday break. I zoomed my lens during the slow exposure to create this effect.

The geotag is the place where I grew up in Suzhou, China

Took this shot of the beautiful Chicago Skyline on my way back from Indiana. Once again, I suck at long exposure and my tripod was totally not up to the task. This one was not terribly bad because I set the tripod to be very close to the ground so it wouldn't be affected by the wind too much. I froze my butt off on that evening but at least learned a thing or two about long exposure night photo. Next time I will try a warm summer evening during the blue hour, hopefully with a better tripod.
