Here comes the sun - OBX trip, part 3

2008.06.04
Tuesday morning, 5:40 am. Pre-dawn light. I set the alarm the night before, hoping for a nice sunrise the following morning, and my efforts were rewarded. The best part? All I had to do was crawl out of bed and stumble to the balcony for the shots. :)

There it is! The first dot of sunlight on the horizon, and the rays starting to streak through the sky.

Just a few minutes later. The sky is constantly changing.

Zooming in on the end of the pier.

We spotted a pair of dolphins swimming out beyond the pier.

The birds were waking up, too.

Someone liked to get an early start with the surf fishing.

Every once in a while, he would pause to take in the sunrise. That made me smile.

The dawn of a beautiful day.
