This is Janus. He's the Roman god of gateways, doors and doorways, beginnings, transitions and endings. He is embodied in the name of the month of January because it sits at the end of one year and the beginning of the next. He is usually shown with two faces because he looks into the past and the future.
A joyous, healthy and worry-free 2012 to all on 365. May the best of 2011 be the worst of 2012. With love. xx
(This is a casting in concrete from a sculpture by Helen C. Dixon, who has given Janus his customary two faces and blended him with the Green Man. The shot was done with him, a couple of candles, my compact on a tripod, a 15 second exposure and some basic processing. Just this once I've been a bit naughty and juggled with the date/time taken settings to reflect the event. )
Critique welcome. Veteran 365er, 2011 vintage. Only posting occasionally and irregularly now.
I'm an abstract photography enthusiast but not exclusively so.

Thanks for everything and hope you all have a wonderful 2012
