    Sunrise

    First sunrise of 2009, shot by Hiroko just outside of Chofu, Tokyo.

    Seconds after the shutter clicked, a giant lizard crashed through those power lines.

    I like that Japanese tradition...watching the 1st sunrise of the year. Happy New Years, kids!

    It's always an interesting demographic mix atop the hill we use. Elderly people, young parents, single women toting expensive large-format cameras, drunk college kids, etc.

    One thing I noticed this time around: no blimp! We'd always seen this airship puttering over the city as the sun came up during previous years. I'd always assumed it was some kind of sunrise-watching charter for rich folks. No sign of it this time around, though.
