  I woke up very early, so opened the curtains for a look see - same sky but the sun was so low down it was shining through the hedgerow. Moses came to mind. (Burning Bush).

  I check in here and lo and behold, the sun rising over the sea. Thank you Beth.

  And the solitary figure says it all.

  great shot beth, the colour and composition are spot on - the figure mirroring the lighthouse is a lovely touch. one gripe, if you straighten it so the horizon is horizontal it’ll be perfect, it would contrast the diagonal line where the sea meets the sand.

  Thanks all.
  Glad you like it Mrs K.
  CGP, I can’t believe I didn’t notice that. I will blame the fact I was being snowed on at the time and was VERY cold. Very annoying though!
  Thanks Gordon :)
  Ash, it was worth getting out of bed and hanging around getting snowed on and freezing! Glad you like the pic.
  Jorgelina, glad you like the shot. I hope you can visit sometime.
  Mike D, again, it was worth getting out of bed and venturing out into the cold…
  Martin, I’ve had some great morning shots there recently!
  Bob B, thanks :)
  Alf, thanks. Glad you like it.

  Wonderful pic. As someone who lives on the coast a little bit further up at Whitley Bay I see the sunrise quite a lot but never ever get bored with it. I’m a writer and most mornings I take a short walk to clear out the cobwebs and figure out what I need to be doing later in the day. This process of daily renewal (the sunrise) is just flat out inspiring.

  I have a series on my blog called Street Life which chronicles the changing the view throughout the year.
