Looking For Dawn Corleone

The land of the rising stun
Photo copyright: DAVID McMAHON

This photograph was taken at dawn on Sanur Beach, Bali, Indonesia. The tide was out and the shallows were great pools of reflection that mirrored the clouds, the rising sun and the many subtleties of light. The clouds were particularly interesting, for it seemed as though there were several types on the horizon (maybe someone would care to identify them for me in a comment here), with one particular string of cloud arcing across the path of the sun. I took a couple of shots before I moved three or four metres back on the warm sand of the beach. There, the foliage overhead, with assorted palm fronds and some branches I could not identify, fringed the frame to make it a bit different from a stock-standard sunrise picture.
