After making a pot of green tea I realised that if I hurried I could walk to the beach to watch the sun rise.

Equipped with thermos of tea, a handful of cashews and my iPhone I made it to the beach with 3 minutes to spare.

One person was there fishing off the beach.

Shiny water, a hill on the left and orange peeking through clouds. By the horizon.
Roiling sea, a hill on the left and the top of the sun peeking through clouds on the horizon.
A smidgeon of sun peeking through clouds on the horizon and reflected in wet sand in front of a foaming sea; a hill on the left.

A fantastic start to the day!
