During our stay in Florida, I had the opportunity to visit the small coastal town of Cape San Blas. The lighthouse is a prominent feature of the town and a great place to visit anytime of the day. The pond with lily leaves created an interesting foreground element.
The memory of this morning is etched forever in my mind as these beautiful clouds rolled in and were lit up by the arising sun. Some of the fishermen were equally sincere about getting up early each morning to catch their fish.
It started out as a fairly bland sunrise with only a few clouds in the distant horizon. However, the calm water during low tide was still very inviting and I was enjoying photographing the reflections and sand waves as the sun rose. In the meantime, clouds were quietly drifting in and before you know it the sky was suddenly aflame with beautiful golden colors.
