Sunrise At Last

Some people sleep in on vacation. Not me. A good day is when I am up in time to see the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. On this year’s annual pilgrimage to Maine, it seemed that I wasn’t going to see a sunrise. Cloud and wildfire smoke seemed to limit the view every morning. […]

Sunrise…Sort of

About this time each year I share photos of the sunrise over Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I expected to to do that again today. Except, even though I have been on the beach before 5:30 each morning this week, I haven’t seen any sunrises. Some days it has been cloudy, others hazy (possibly wildfire smoke […]

Images of Sunrise 2024

What would August be like if I didn’t share new photos of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at Old Orchard Beach, Maine? This year I was up early enough to be on te beach for the sunrise each day, but most days were either overcast or foggy. Today’s photo essay is a sampling […]

The Sunrise Sequence

I first posted these in August 2015. I try to catch at least one sunrise every year when we visit Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The photos let you see the sun slowly rising over the Atlantic Ocean. Later this month I’ll show some of the several sunrises I watched on this year’s vacation

Sunrise Over Saco Bay

  Vacation. It’s a magical word. A time for rest and relaxation (for the most part), for re-connection with God and man. In my case, a trip to the Atlantic Ocean in Maine on the American East Coast. For me this is one of the few places where I can place the cares of the […]

The Breaking Dawn

No the best of views from my hotel room, but I was still moved by the beauty of sunrise over the Mediterranean.

Sunrise

(Originally posted August 22, 2016) When you vacation in the same place each year some things become ritual. Like sunrises. I try to take a picture of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at least once in my two weeks at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I’m a natural early riser, which is a good […]

When you vacation in the same place each year some things become ritual. Like sunrises. I try to take a picture of the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at least once in my two weeks at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. I’m a natural early riser, which is a good thing. Vacations are supposed to […]
