Sunrise.

[rhythmaning]

I went for an early morning walk on Portobello beach this morning, to catch the sunrise.

The beach was quiet, though an over-eager choclate labrador puppy repeatedly jumped at me at one point, to the embarrassment of its owner.

There was frost on the sand, which I had not noticed before; but then I don't remember walking on a beach in the middle of winter before, either.

The sunrise itself was attractive, though slightly hazy; the haar lay out on the Forth to the north of the beach.

A large row-boat with three or four oarsmen was launched from the beach; a flight of swans - a skein? - flew overhead.

Sometime, they'll be some photos, too.

I love Portobello beach in the morning. I've not managed dawn there, but morning walks watching the dogs and the birds and the waves rolling in and out are just marvellously relaxing.

It was lovely. Very gentle waves.

A strange contrast to the onslaught they're getting down south!

Also, this is the time of year to catch the dawn!
