Taken in Victoria, British Columbia (Vancouver Island), Canada at dawn ! Yes, I dragged my sister out of bed that early!
The light on the boat was due to a light on the pier.

Just LOVE how the sun has lit up that boat!! Fabulous light!!
I’m sure your sister must have been glad (after the fact!!) of you showing her a totally different face to the town (I know cities look totally different at dawn … peace and calm).
Thanks Vikram….tho’ I have to admit it’s not the sun. It’s the light from an orange light along the pier. Yeah, my sister is now looking at the world with new eyes! I did buy her a coffee afterwards – after I FROZE my fingers off! Cheers!

This is beautiful Wendi! I love the lighting & reflection on the water! Good for you for getting out there at the crack of dawn too! I’m not that dedicated yet, although that is the best time to get out there isn’t it :)
Yes it’s a great time of day…but man, it’s a killer! LOL The light moves so quickly too – you gotta be fast! Thanks my dear!
