What a beautiful sunrise!
 
You are just a damned lucky guy and I am just jealous!

Spectacular!
 
Very pretty. Nice neighbours too.
 
Nice, ... Here's another morning sunrise-view from a pilothouse, in Raccoon
Strait and looking toward Angel Island.

 
This is one of my favorite sunrise pics...taken on the Tchefuncte River while anchored out.

I'm grateful for you early risers who post these beautiful sunrise shots. That's the only way I normally get to see a sunrise. Sunsets are more of a regular occurrence for me.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................
 
Morning in Upper Goose Creek last season..

Beautiful shots all. Thanks for sharing them with us. Keep 'em coming.


Here's one of my favorites, taken from the river bank in front of the house. Sunset on the Columbia....

No, rarely will you find us in the bowels of the bay.
Mud and brown water is not for us, blue water and sand, I like to see what is coming for us when swimming.

Those pics are at Myora.
 
Here's how we do winter in NorCal...

Sometimes it's hard to tell inside from outside.

A late afternoon sun can create nice tones if the camera is aimed away from the sun.

 
You all are just making me depressed with your wonderful pictures of sunrise! :D

Sunset looking back towards Brisbane and all those suffering workers :)
And another wonderful sunrise as we up anchor to head across to a nearby Island.

Especially nice when there is a moon.

Unless you really know the neighborhood, a sunrise and sunset are indistinguishable. Not that anyone on TF would do that.
 
Not much but it is real time .
