There are many who will take new passages this year as the economy will disrupt many lives. So Cheers! to you and new beginnings. The middle image in this triptych is called "Open Passages To Wonderland and the Chocolate City". The image was taken on the eve of Obama's inauguration and passage through the "Glass Ceiling". The refractions in glass gives this a sense of opening to another world... a passageway to a land of wonder. The Chocolate City is the title of a song from the seventies by a group called Parliament. The Chocolate City is Washington DC and the song predicted a black president and first lady.
