is also a timeless beauty in these photos.

Speed, ice, snow, hot buttered rum, wet socks, cold hands, all images of the

February 18, 2007 - Chinese New Year's Day. Lunar Year 4705 - The Year of the
Pig
|
While the rest of the world is in the early years of but the third millennium,
Chinese culture is in their fifth millennium!
You can read about The Chinese Calendar at http://webexhibits.org/calendars/calendar-chinese.html

Each of the twelve years on the lunar calendar is designated with
an animal.
In good astrological fashion, the animal representing the year you were born
defines much about your personality and characteristics.
Here we are, 2007, the year of the Pig, but it is not all about the Pig! In
fact each year is designated by two Chinese characters. They both are equally
important for Chinese astrology. The ruling element for 2007 is Fire, and that
makes a ton of difference.
The Pig is normally thought of as a laid-back, easy going type. The Fire Pig,
however, is more like a wild boar than its placid, barnyard relative.

The Chinese Zodiac - Pig. Description of Personality
Pure hearted and hedonistic, the Pig is the last but not least of the 12 signs.
If for no other reason, Pigs have more fun.
Who can't help but like the easy going, helpful, courteous and kindly Pig? They
make great friends and sensual lovers. Yes, Pigs love anything that appeals to
the senses, music,
jacuzzis, and
of course good
food and drink.
And, no one more optimistically looks forward to the joys of
retirement.
On the down side, Pigs are often naive and trusting to a fault. It's no
challenge to con a Pig. They're not that great when it comes to managing
money either. And, they can be impulsive, often reacting to a situation
without thinking. These faults and a gentle nature often mask the Pig's very
real inner strength.
