5 o'clock dawn - a photo on Flickriver

5 o'clock dawn

            This morning I woke up (unintentionally) at 4:30. It was already light outside and having had a long period of poor weather I was really surprised to see a flat calm morning with just a few clouds. The decision was made in seconds and a few minutes later both me and Gina were on our way to the beach down the road. I am glad we went. Shortly after sunrise the wind picked up, clouds closed in and brought several hours of continuous snowing. Most people were still asleep when I was enjoying this scenery and then they just woke up into a miserable winter day. We are both chuffed that we were able to start the day on a positive note. ;-)
