    Rising Sun

    Got out and about a little early this morning, unfortunately not quite early enough. I would have preferred to get there when the Sun was just starting to peek over the tree line off in the distance. I'll have to get their earlier next time.   

    This place is known for some beautiful picture opportunities. This is one of the Sunrise over the White Oak River Inlet in Swansboro North Carolina.  The exact opposite side of the river from where I took the Sunset pictures that some of you may have already seen.  When I took the pictures of the setting Sun I was standing just below were the Sun is in this picture. 
    This picture doesn't show it to well, but it was humid hazy and already getting mighty warm at 06:30am. 

     

    Have A Nice __________

    Nice shot Tim, now that just gives you good reason to go back and catch the earlier rise.

    Nice picture!

    Doberman, you can have some of our warmth.  I'll gladly send you some.  102 degrees here in my little town yesterday.  Most definitely NOT a "dry" heat!   And, they say it'll only be hotter the next few days.  I HATE SUMMER!!!!!!
