When I travel to the west coast I’m treated to something I don’t get to see very often- sunrise. Especially in the winter time when the sun sleeps in past 10 AM (by my east-coast clock anyway). I wish I owned a nice DSLR, a telephoto lens, and had the practice to take good photos… In a place like this, good scenes aren’t hard to find. These are the kinds of mornings that make me a morning person.

For you camera nerds, this was taken with a Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG65 still/video point-and-shoot. It’s tiny, usually what I use on the ski hill for action shots, but the quality always surprises me.
