Dawn, New Year's Day, 2007

Seeing the sun come up on the first day of the year marks the real beginning of the New Year for me. December is a hard time of year. There were December deaths in my family years ago, and many old memories come back. Some are happy and some are sad. I see the first of January as a turning point, both in the winter, and in my state of mind. It doesn't always work, but it's a good place to start. There are more sunrise photos in my flickr set New Years Day.

I wish you all a very Happy New Year.
