I chose this picture as today's Photo of the Day for a few reasons. One is because Jeremy Baumgartner took it at Fisherman's Wharf at Monterey Harbor in California on New Year's Eve, January 1, 2008. Featuring it today seems symmetrical. In a year that has had so many ups and downs, symmetry feels fitting and the photo exudes a stillness and calm.

Dec 31st, 2008 at 10:00AM: Unlike many holidays, where celebrants are bound by tradition or religion, New Year's is a holiday that allows each individual to choose his own method of celebration. Some revelers will soak themselves in alcohol, boozing it up with copious bottles of champagne. Others choose to make the evening a quieter affair, settling in for a movie and an early night in bed. However you personally choose to ...Need New Year's Eve ideas? Crash some plates!
Dec 20th, 2008 at 5:00PM: I assure you that when the ball drops on the last day of 2008, I will not be in Times Square. I will be nowhere near Times Square. So, unless you like the thought of being shoulder-to-shoulder with people you've never met while freezing and lamenting the lack of public bathrooms in that part of town, take a look at some of the choices you have this year.
