I'm still getting up very early — 4:30 this morning. I looked up what time to expect sunrise and saw 6:53 a.m. So just after six I got dressed and went out for a drive, thinking I would take some photos.

The scene before dawn on the Morehead City waterfront
Problem was, it was still dark. And then when the sun did come up in a crystal clear sky, it was so bright that it made photography difficult. So I came back to my mother's place with very little in the camera. If I'm up early again tomorrow, I might try again.
ReplyDeleteGuten Morgen.
But, Ken, those are GREAT photos! It's so peaceful at the shore in the early morning hours.
ReplyDeleteif those are your bad pix we will take them! and ha... yep... its mighty dark at 4:30... thats our wake up schedule. *sigh* maybe you can make a big breakfast while you are waiting for the sun to come up. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe light in the second photo is gorgeous. For some reason it reminds me of dawns in Salton City. Keep trying!
ReplyDeleteVery evocative photos. It's been too long since we visited NC. We visit France more often!
ReplyDeleteThe second one is very nice. Looking forward to seeing more!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Lovely pictures. There is nothing like being on the water at dawn. If you brought this beautiful weather we are having, thank you. We sure have had a cold, wet and dreary winter, especially the month of March. A few more days of warm sunshine and I might lose the winter humdrums! Enjoy your vacation and your time at home. Eat seafood and BBQ!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog ken and read it every day. I have retired to Chatillon sur Cher, about ten minutes or so from your home. Hope you enjoy your visit to the US. Raining here this afternoon but gentle rain only. Best wishes . Christine Roberts
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured that orange/blue contrast at the Morehead Waterfront! Just gorgeous. Good luck in adjusting to your new time zone.
