Sun comes before Seiko

I could tell when the sun first began to rise that it would be a spectacular morning. So Mrs C and I headed out to give you a new angle. We struggled to find the right spot as the sun was changing every few seconds.



These were taken from the middle of the road a minute or so apart.



Just a wild shot at the sky because suddenly the streets were littered with power poles, electrical wires, scaffoids, etc.



A few miles from home my wife got this image, probably way out of focus but wow!



Only a mile later the camera recorded this:



We drove onto Fiesta Island - low, sandy, barren -- and started to walk along the water.



We were not alone.



That hump in the middle of the picture is Mission Hills, where we walked a few days last week.





The gulls were out and happily squawking




This shot was much better than I expected





as I panned along with him the light changed



A "crowd" arrived



Everyone was watching the sun.



I finally remembered this was a Seiko walk, so here you go -- my Seiko khaki chronograph. There was an issue with the lume - I think a bit dropped out or it was threatening to, so I removed it and left the hands as skeletons, planning to replace or relume them later. Later never came.



This is Sessions Park where we walked last week 



Our ride home.



I can see the hands pretty well even without lume in the tips. I can see the chrono dials better this way.





Sorry for the abbreviated walk, but we just got consumed by the sunrise (and now I have to go visit the dentist 😥)
