.patient.sunrise.

HPIM3435


on the last day of the long weekend in OC, i woke up 20 minutes before the sun did. the beach almost deserted. it was cloudy, i was concerned that there would be no sun to see rise. but i was patient. i took pix of other things. the sand. the waves. THE DOLPHINS! every so often the clouds would part and i would see the fire pink lick of the sun and then finally, the orb was fully out. and in the distance i noticed a lone surfer who was also watching the sun. how perfect.

Very beautiful shot. I'm glad that you were patient and I'm glad that I got to see it. :D

Dolphins? You got shots of dolphins? Very cool.

askew to you --
i saw dolphins but they were too far away (close enough but not for my digital buddy to snap clear shots). i was just happy to witness it at all.

traci and elk -
thank you!

Absolutely stunning... I love this, and plan to tattoo it to my brain for as long as it will last. Ahhh!
