New Years Day photos from around the world

This is now the third year I've run the New Year's Day Around The World page. I hope you've enjoyed the last two years and maybe you have something to share this year.

So what's it all about? Well, the task is to take a photo of where you are on New Year's Day and post it here. As the hours (and days) pass we build up a snapshot of New Year around the world.

All different photos, all the same day!

It's easy to submit your photo, just use the form below

So, here's your opportunity to share your New Year with the World.

The photo could be of almost anything - natural scenery, buildings, decorations, food, people . . . anything you like!

Just as long as it was taken on New Year's Day 2011.

Give it a few days, and hopefully we'll have a really good selection!

And by the way, you might be interested to see some of the photos submitted during previous years. Click here to see the New Year's Day 2009 photos and here are the New Year's Day 2010 photos.
