Overcast morning but here’s your Friday, 14 November dawning from Makorori Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand.

The sun is trying to punch through the clouds as some surfers make their way out.

The beach was rainy and overcast, so I opted for a morning sit in our sunroom, looking out over the front (native plant) garden, listening to the warm Spring rain, and the manu pango and the Tūī.

If you like more colour in your sunrises, here’s a re-visit of yesterday’s (10 November) sunrise, in time lapse.

Note: I added music, so if that’s not your thing, turn the sound down or keep scrolling. 🎶

A thick line of low clouds on the horizon with otherwise clear skies makes for the most uninspiring of sunrises.

That was the setting this morning, Friday, 7 December at Okitu Beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand. But the waves are beautiful.

(it’s hard to accurately capture the brilliance of the colors and the hues with a phone camera. But no saturation adjustments were made for this video)

I thought I would throw in a short video a couple minutes after my previous one in case you wanted to see the sun fully pressing the low lane clouds 👍🏽

Bit of a muted sunrise for this 31 October, Halloween 🎃 morning.
So here’s some early morning colour from Wainui beach, Aotearoa / New Zealand, before the sun eventually rose behind the clouds.
