Happy New Year ... and a pomegranate

A smashed pomegranate, sacrificed for good fortune as the clock tolls in a new year. Many cultures in the region do it, and the photo is the result.

I have decided to start posting a photo a day again after an all-too-long hiatus. Hoping to reestablish old contacts and make new ones in this very special community. May we all have a pomegranate enriched new year.
