A few weeks ago I did a post about sunsets, so here is one this time showing the sunrise.



These pictures were taken at the weekend, when as usually happens, instead of sleeping late, I wake up early ! This particular morning instead of lying in bed trying to get back to sleep,I decided to get  up and see the sunrise. I am so glad that I did.


The water was so still and calm, however the roads by the harbour were full of seagulls scavenging and fighting for the leftovers from late night take-aways!


This is the lookout at the end of the stone pier. If you go up the steps and look out over the sea you feel as if you are completely surrounded by water - you could easily imagine you were in the famous scene from the film Titantic!



This time of the morning is always busy with fishing boats heading out to sea.


The stone pier walls were built in 1879. The photo shows the first rays of the sun shining on them and also on  the rocks close-by.


Is it just me or do you enjoy reading the names on boats and wondering how they got their names ... any guesses for how this one was named - it is one of the training boats for the sea cadets!


Back down the harbour to a different view from earlier.



There are advantages and disadvantages with every season and one benefit at this time of year is being able to witness this wonderful sight at more of a reasonable hour without it being freezing cold outside!

Hope you have all had a good weekend too and  hello and a big welcome to my new followers Jan and Jenny .
