HONDURAS: Performers dressed as animals celebrate the end of the Mayan 'Long Count' Calendar in the Mayan ruins of Copan. 21 December 2012 coincides with the winter solstice. Some believed today would bring the apocalypse; others say it is merely the dawn of a new era. 

21/12/12 has finally arrived and it's the end of the world as we know it... or not, as the case may be
