It’s crazy how big container ships are. This one came in right as the sun was crossing the horizon. It’s usually my favorite part of each sunrise but the clouds obscured it. The ship gave me something else to focus on which was cool.
Of course the birds were all over this scene. Damn birds.

Lifeguard Sunrise
I'm not a big fan of the beach, but there is something about being there in the dark, and watching the sky and ocean come to life as the sun rises. It's magical. This particular morning was even more incredible because of how calm the ocean was. I've only ever seen it this calm a handful times in my entire life. The stillness of the water added an extra element of serenity to this picturesque scene.
This spot is at the tip of Miami Beach. It's as south as you can get on South Beach, a place called South Pointe Park. I've always admired the lifeguard towers on Miami Beach. Most of them are very colorful and very "Miami". I like this one because it's painted as if it was a lighthouse, which is interesting because it's only a few yards away from the major entrance to the Port of Miami that ironically doesn't have a lighthouse.
Tell me about your favorite time at the beach. Do you like to get up early for a beach sunrise?
