It's a New Dawn, It's a New Day...

And, to borrow from Michael Buble, I'm feelin' good...

Good enough, in any case, to greet the sun - which considerately poked its face over the horizon at a very respectable 7:20 this morning - as it rose on 2013. I wasn't alone. The parking lots at the Point were full and cameras plentiful. By 7:54 the last Dongbu tour bus had left and it was all over.

Poking its head over the horizon

Dawn of a new year

Sun rose, tourists departed

Judging by the hundreds assembled this morning, a stalwart group head to the Point to usher in the New Year annually, but the first - and last - time I felt compelled to drag myself out of bed at the crack of dawn on January 1st, it was to welcome a new millenium. Those were the days.

My sister, my mom and yours truly

Birds flying high

You know how I feel

Sun in the sky

You know how I feel

Reeds driftin' on by

You know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good
