Darn it! Too late and too much cloud for dawn! :)

Here in the tropics, sunrise and sunset happen very quickly. Often spectacular, sometimes not, but always quick! I thought I might just catch sunrise over the Kokopo boat harbor so when I set out for my morning walk at 5.30am, I packed the GX7. It's about 45 minutes from my place to the point I would shoot from above the beached boats, and halfway there, I could see the problem -- I was a bit late and the cloud in the east wasn't breaking up.

Result -- a nice gray pic! The sku is a pretty good representation of what I saw; you can see where the dawn pink has faded.

Oh well, with luck I will wake a little earlier tomorrow.

Good walk there and back, though.
