A different sunrise view was what I wanted, and I decided that a nice, close spot might be the road that leads out to Green Key Beach. That’s where I headed this morning, not expecting to find gates closing the road much further from the beach than I might have thought. The feature photo is the first one I took while standing beside the car. There are only a few spots where there is a break in the shrubbery where the fishermen stop to fish and where you have a bit of a view. And where you will find the no-see-ums lying in wait to descend upon you before you can get yourself and your equipment out of the car. I doused myself with bug spray as soon as I took that first picture, and then attempted to find a better spot to give me more of a view to the east, but there weren’t any. And then I headed for home.
I was almost back to the main road when I saw a break in the shrubbery coming up, a last chance at a head-on view of the sunrise. Only this was what I found when I got there.
I guess I’ll have to keep looking for that perfect sunrise spot, or stick to sunsets. And buy more bug spray…
