12/12/12

As today is such a special day in the calendar 12/12/12, it is either lucky or the end of the world as we know it. Or that might be in nine days if you believe in the Mayan Calendar.

I thought I would try to interpret this by taking some photographs of dominoes.

The number 12 certainly holds significance in human existence through the millennia:

Apart from there being 12 hours of day and night, and 12 months in the year in the Roman calendar, there 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 Apostles, 12 days of Christmas, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 old testament prophets...

Some say the day symbolizes love, others completeness or fulfillment.
