The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

GOOD VIBES to everyone!

Hello 2013!!! Every year Japanese have this tradition to watch the first sunrise of the year. They are very dedicated to it that they have to wake up early even though it is too damn cold.

Last year was a failure because the sun was covered by the clouds and we didn't have the chance to see it. But fortunately, I guess the odds are in our favor this time, the sun showed up and it was breath taking.

At the parking lot. *hurry! Mr. Sun is showing up!!!

first photo... still using my primary lens 18-55mm

when we got closer. I love the silhouette effect. 

a group of young Japanese people raise their hands with peace sign, welcoming year 2013.

Busy taking pictures... I love it because most of them is a Canon user like me. :D

People pray and wish to have good luck and fortune this year.
Then everyone exchanges some hugs with their family and friends.
Oh the joy. ;)


And when we got home I immediately go to bed and slept the entire day.

I wish everyone a very prosperous and productive new year.

Ciao!
