The sunrise on 4 June was at 5:30 AM. I left the my house at 4:45 AM. When I got to the waterfront there was no one else around. I waited for the sun to come up, listening to the early birds and other sounds of a sleepy beach waking up. As the horizon began to light up slowly, I realized that I was going to have a special day with my camera. Sometimes all the hard work and early wake ups will pay off and Mother Nature will reward you with a special gift.
