First sunset of 2010

Happy New Year Everybody!!

People are usually interested in the first SUNRISE(初日の出) rather than sunset.. but since I'm a late riser-especially in winter- sunset was good enough for me.

This is today's beautiful sunset with fuji san.. nothing can be more nihonppoi than seeing fujisan on the first day of the year.. (except that I wasn't lucky enough to see it in my first dream of the year..).

Wish you a year full of success and a bunch of dreams coming true!!
