A Nice Jewish Boy Wishes You Happy Chinese New Year!&

Wishing you togetherness and good fortune for the New Year. I hope I didn't leave out any important diacritical marks on the transliterated "happy new year" greeting that I found on the web ;-)

I was looking for something bright red (of course!) to shoot in honor of Chinese New Year. This is part of a Chinese-style panel at Atlanta Zoo near the Panda exhibit - I had to crop very tightly to avoid the part that says "Coca-Cola Company" just off-camera to the right.

The Rosenbach family will celebrate Chinese New Year with, of course, Chinese food! For a comment on the strange and wonderful love affair between the American Jewish community and Chinese food, see this blog post.

Nice shot, with just a hint of something Asian.

Since we are Cantonese, we say it this way:
Gung Hay Fat Choy!

Thanks for the New Years wishes.
