A thick line of low clouds on the horizon with otherwise clear skies makes for the most uninspiring of sunrises. That was the setting this morning, Friday, 7 December at Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. But the waves are beautiful. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️.

I thought I would throw in a short video a couple minutes after my previous one in case you wanted to see the sun fully pressing the low lane clouds 👍🏽

Bonus sunSET video for 25 October, from Midway Beach, Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay. But how can I get both sunRISE and sunSET over the water? - it’s thanks to the way the ocean bay wraps around here.

This is the view from the beach looking the OTHER direction. Green hillside with sheep. Basically The Shire 🥰

In a time of AI slop and 90 second attention spans, it's good to take 10 minutes and read a well-crafted, human crafted, story. Becky Manawatu brings us a rich and melancholy glimpse of time in a setting that is very Kiwi, but also very universal.

I've got a YouTube channel with well over 1,000 sunrises from the local beaches over the past 6+ years. But I have to say, last Friday's sunrise had got to be in the top 10 of those. If you want 45 minutes of beauty, watching the sun rise in real-time, here's a link: youtu.be/YXV7x4gkZtM?...
