Lunar New Year – Year of the Tiger

It’s time to celebrate a new year on the lunar calendar! Each year on the lunar calendar is associated with one of the 12 zodiac animals, which include the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. This upcoming year, which begins on February 1, is the year of the tiger. Lunar New Year is traditionally celebrated in China, Vietnam, North and South Korea, and Tibet, but today, celebrations take place all around the world. In London, for example, the Light Festival at Battersea Power Station features an installation celebrating the year of the tiger. The Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) created “Digital Origami Tigers” in 2010, the last year of the tiger. The large, glowing sculptures “combine ancient methods of lantern making with cutting-edge design and technology” to create a stunning celebration of the new year.

Beyond My Imagination

Indian New Year in Iceland

Imagine Peace Tower in Reykjavík, Iceland.

Since I am traveling and wasn't able to properly celebrate Diwali, the Indian New Year and festival of lights, I decided to visit the Imagine Peace Tower on Viðey Island in Reykjavík, Iceland.

The artistic vision of Yoko Ono and a tribute to her late husband, John Lennon, the "tower" is made up of fifteen individual beams of light and was envisioned as a way to "give light to the strong wishes of World Peace from all corners of the planet."

In that spirit, we wish you all peace and happiness for the new year.
