Once upon a time, there was a planet called “Werth” where people were waiting for an apocalypse on the prediction of ancient Werthians. The Werthians had predicted the end of the world after a 5,125 year cycle and as the deadline approached, fear loomed in the hearts of innocent creatures. Some of them awaited the doomsday while others prayed to see the light of another day.

Well, as they say: when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true. Those who prayed intently got their wish fulfilled and God agreed to extend their time limit. Yet, there was a catch. He didn’t tell them when the apocalypse was next time.

Nevertheless, Werthians were happy as they entered a new year of their life and had magnificent celebrations all over the planet. They were jubilous and the festivities were a sight to be seen.

And, since it is the specialty of the Graphic Design Blog to feature any sight that is to be seen; we bring you the latest photography collection of the ecstatic New Year celebrations from around the Werth!

Have a blessed year, Werthians! J
