Hiwasa, Tokushima prefecture. Up early to try to photograph the sunrise. The view of the sunrise at this spot is quite famous, but as you can see it was a bit cloudy this morning. Ohama beach is also famous because of the loggerhead turtles that lay their eggs here during summer.

A really pretty shot. I've seen turtles laying eggs in Oman and it is such a dramtic sight.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael. It would be amazing to go back in the summer and see the turtles.
Love the sky colors you captured!

Wonderful and you know what I love the most, the rocks, they are splendid. And the turtles, ah how I would love to see a photo...I've read of it so many times and never seen it before :)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. Rocks? There aren't any rocks here Lorraine!
What a pity the clouds didn't go away and you were left in an inkpot!Only that the sky above looks promising! Did you get the sunrise or not?

@chris chisu: I rested the camera on the window ledge of the hotel room.
Thanks for commenting on my blog Daroru, you gave me the chance to see a collection of photos (yours) of rare beauty.

@caratteraccio: Thank you caratteraccio! And thanks for all your comments - I will reply to them!
I like how this photo is divided into layers, the beach, the water, the clouds and the sky...

@Lorraine: Have a look tomorrow Lorraine!
I don't catch many sunrises since I don't like to get up until the sun gets warm.
