I’m a morning person, but sometimes when I’m traveling I get lazy. I made myself get up for the sunrise a couple of times in Hua Hin and I was not disappointed with the sunrise on the beach. Here are a few of the shots I captured.

What wonderful photos – though they’re making me jealous. Mostly I’m liking winter but when it’s got -25C in the forecast in the next week not so much and these photos just serve to remind that much of the world isn’t frozen for half the year.
Definitely worth getting up for Nancie.

Those pinks and coral sunsets are the best- so pretty!

I’m ashamed to say I’ve never been up to watch the sunrise while on a trip…

Absolutely gorgeous photos, Nancie. Getting up so early must have definitely been worth it. Looking out my window this morning, there’s snow as far as the eye can see. Beautiful that too, to be sure – but I wouldn’t mind twitching my nose and suddenly be on that Hua Hin beach right now.

Gorgeous sunrise photos! What a wonderful way to start anyone’s day. I love how the monk’s robe almost matches the sun’s colors.

Some awesome sunrises. Thanks for showing us these beauties and giving me hope for some springtime weather !

Simply beautiful! I’m not a morning person, but I would get up early to see these sunrises and the monks receiving their alms.

Really, really beautiful, Nancie! I love sunrise/sunset shots. So, what’s that in the second photo? Looks like the tail of a whale? — but they wouldn’t be that close to shore, right?

I think a lot of people sleep in while traveling hence the abundance of sunset pictures! I’m a morning person too who sleeps in while traveling but after seeing these I am going to make more of an effort to see some sunrises

That first shot is just wonderful, Nancie! Good job. And good job on getting up for sunrise – I’m not a morning person, but really love those early morning hours. . . when I can actually get myself out of bed. It’s such a great time of day for a photographer. You remind me of why I have to be better at it.
As good as the beach sounds, I’m jealous that you are in Chiang Mai – I have such fond memories of that area from my short, short time there. Enjoy!

Beautiful photos Nancie. We’ve arrived in Hawaii but our beach today is under a heavy cloud cover. . .no sun to be found, so I am enjoying your photos even more than usual! And I plan to take a trip later by looking at all the other participant photos as well.

I love the middle photo with the couple waling down the beach and the buildings in the background towards the right…. but what is the obect sticking out of the water in the middle of the picture that looks like a too skinny out of place whale tail? Could it a post with some driftwaood behind it?

Welcome Becca! I love your beach shot.

A stunning sunrise series, and the inclusion of the monk on his rounds makes sense, seeing as it’s Thailand!
Keep having fun, Nancie!!!

Well worth getting up early for those great shots. Unfortunately, I miss a lot of pretty sunrises since I’m not a morning person.
