Sunrise in Real, Quezon

Part 9 of a series.

Tired from our adventures and beach-ing, we had a very good sleep, accompanied with the crashing of the waves.

The sun rises on the east. And since we were on the eastern seaboard of the Philippines, I made an effort to wake up early to see and capture the sunrise.

When I got out of the door though, I was surprised as it was drizzling, and chilly cold! Nonetheless, I still headed to the beach, hoping to see the sunrise.

A few moments after the above-photo was taken, rain fell, so hard, that I had to run back to our room with my camera and tripod. Sigh. No sunrise. But I don’t see it as a waste of sleeping hours and effort though. At least, I still got to see fishermen heading out for their first catch of the day, locals jogging along the shore, and visitors taking a very early dip.
