The New Year arrived with the usual pomp and noise in Honolulu yesterday. 2012 will be an election year so excitement in the political field will be prevalent.
Here in Honolulu this author celebrated the arrival of 2012 with the usual low-key stance as he normally does... The major highlight of New Year's Day was to wake up early and catch the first rays of the new light of the new year. Sunrise fans flocked to Diamond Head lookout and other similar destinations to witness the first sunrise of 2012 and document all of its colorful glory. Pictures from Diamond Head lookout are posted here as well as on Flickr.
The second New Year event this author attended was the small celebration that took place at the Don Quijote Store on Kaheka Street. Things got underway at 9AM with lion dances and the bursting of hundreds of firecrackers. The lion dancers then proceeded into the store followed by a crowd of customers eager to complete their morning shopping.
Photography is generally discouraged at Don Quijote, but yesterday's event was a good excuse to break out the camera and get some images from inside the store.
Happy New Year of the Dragon.
