Any time I go to the beach, I try to get at least one photo of a sea bird.

This time I wanted to see what I could get from Fort Lauderdale Beach as the sun was coming up over the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunrise over the Atlantic on Fort Lauderdale Beach

Maybe sunrises and sunsets at the beach are no big deal if you live there.

I’ve never gotten tired of seeing the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean or setting over the Pacific.

Sunrises especially seem to attract me. It’s like God’s way of giving us hope for a fresh start.

And since it was just a short walk from my hotel to the sands of Fort Lauderdale Beach, I had to dedicate a little time one morning to see and photograph the sun coming up.
