Day 27: North Pacific Ocean Sunrise

This morning I beat the sun as we both raced to start our day. The sunrise was on our port side while the ship heads in a southerly direction from Hawaii towards Bora, Bora.

Having been to California, Mexico, Hawaii in the past, believing the world is flat - today really feels like the start of the adventure beyond the edge of the earth. Next stop Bora Bora.

I learned something today about sunrise photos; from deck 8 you get a better reflection of the sun off the ocean - from deck 2 you are a bit closer to the sunrise horizon.

Gorgeous sunrises are easy when the puffy clouds hover above the horizon - However, when the skies are clear - majestic sky drama is limited. Some of this mornings images are looking at what is happening ship side while the sun ushers in the day.

In the first picture you will see Venus [I think] in the upper corner,

Photos of the waves, a video (turn up your volume) and hear and feel the water crashing against the hull give you a sense of my morning today.

By 7:15 AM the traffic in deck 2 starts to look like memories of Route 91 on my way to work - as walkers and joggers start their day. Make sure you stay in your lane, and keep the left clear.

A bit of ‘old school’ B&W seemed to work well today. I like the B&W sunrise shot. My favorite shot today is the shadow of the boat and my shape against the wall of deck two.

Do I wish I was home right now? “No, not really.” Look at the last image of snow in our yard - as one of the East Windsor police officer does a quick drive by our property - It was fun I did get to speak to him on my Ring camera. The officer told me “Enjoy your trip, we are looking out for you; you have nothing to worry about.” This is one of the joys of living in a small town.

I have a lot of footprints to post of the last couple of days in Hawaii. So there is much more to come.
