't was a nice sunrise on a sucky year so far. Still the crisis going on, a lot of earthquake activity going on (more than usual I think) Air traffic locked above Europe and what else is there to come? Well... At least it's not as bad as 2012 lol.
Yo Eric sup I just got a YouTube acount and wasn't able to enter the wasabi kit kat competition so I was just wondering being the nice guy u are could you send me just one bar thanks
i hope if i say 1 fucked up weired message you will show it in 1 of your vids,..crosses fingers "oh my god! its godzilla! run like a beech! oh wait were safe,....no were not! it's a big harry dildo attacking godzilla! go big hary dildo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" dont ban me from your vids for this,...please.
I can't remember the last time I saw the sun rise on new years day. (Usually I don't see much at all that morning.) This might be the first time. Thanks E!
What a great tradition. More natural, I guess, than seeing in the new year at midnight. Since time is man-made and sunrises are natural. Happy New Year!
It's shows a new day has arrived, in this case a new year. A time where yesterday was the past and today is what matters. Something doesn't have to be different in a physical form to be different. But if that's your POV you probably don't take time to enjoy things in life.
I am in Brisbane over 12 years now, and few years ago, only once, I took my family and went to the lookout of Mt Cootha to see the first sun rising. I had thought no body should be there but amazingly enough, more than few dozen Japanese were gathering and waiting.... It made me remind the scene from the Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. For this year, I asked my wife to go again and declined... But I could enjoy the first sun rising with your video instead. Thank you Eric san.
I think it's fascinating that people on this planet still appreciate the simple things in life. Props to you for participating in it, as well as for sharing it with us. I'll have to remember that for 2011. I think I will drag my kids out of bed early spread the joy of a New Year's sunrise.
Eric, what a lovely capture. Its amazing how many people crowd in! Lucky you can shoot over their heads. There was a figure of a lone sailor in a row boat to the left of the frame! Akemashite omedeto gozaimasu!! My Friend!!
Pretty cool vid eric, but it would of been tight if you but the cam on a tripod and just played the fastforward clip of the sunrse.... still 5 stars as always tho!
i think eric jinxed it there at the end. 2010 was a terrible year

Yes. It was beautiful. But how did you upload it on December 31, 2009 if you made the video January 1, 2010?
legendariers 1 year ago
@legendariers Japan is 17 hours ahead at that time, so it was January 1, 2010 in Japan
and here in California it would be December 31 2009 1 PM.
