Join me early on the Beach!
![qt32pgw2ak.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/qt32pgw2ak.jpg)

I heard about this and went to see for myself!

Everyone that we talked to here in Struisbaai spoke about the magnificent sunrises that they get on the beach here. So early this morning I armed myself with my camera and trundled down to the beach. A sniping cold wind didn't deter me, as I had a scarf around my neck and my trusty old beanie on my head.
Join me for the breathtaking show!

![9ohm5z1uvn.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/9ohm5z1uvn.jpg)

Still dark and no sun yet, but it's on the way!

![cw3ghvwxtn.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/cw3ghvwxtn.jpg)

Hazy light for the camera, but it will improve!

![df6u5rabrf.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/df6u5rabrf.jpg)

Ah! Ever so slowly the sun appeared!

![du7u6l1dmp.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/du7u6l1dmp.jpg)

And the beauty on a quiet morning was balm to my soul!

![hjz8mxsvhf.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/hjz8mxsvhf.jpg)

Someone else also enjoyed the early morning!

![23ayx87jc6.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/23ayx87jc6.jpg)

The sea took on a golden glow!

![a3avu0at73.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/a3avu0at73.jpg)

And the glow increased as this bird flew past!

![qjdnefdr17.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/qjdnefdr17.jpg)

The people were right about this amazing sunrise!

![bga55e2per.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/bga55e2per.jpg)

Could this guy be an @actifit steemian?

![tqzmsodttw.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/tqzmsodttw.jpg)

Finally, I had an African Fish Eagle waiting for the next post.

But the Fish Eagle will have to wait, as I have much to show you about this beautiful place. We were invited to visit some good friend that have now taken up residence here in Struisbaai and we returned home this afternoon.

I had not walked so much since my operation and now the legs still feel a bit shaky, but the beauty all round drew me like a magnet. On the way here the Canola fields on the farms are just starting to turn yellow and soon all of the valleys will feature a tapestry of colors.

Struisbaai is about a 2 and a half hours drive from our place and we were also invited to come and watch the whales when they arrive on their annual spawning run. Birds and wildlife are here in abundance and I have managed to snap a few lovely ones.
So until next time, we hope you have enjoyed this early morning outing!

Thank you my friend.
I stopped the car to have a better look at this magical bird and discovered that the line of trees next to the road was hiding a river.
That's why he was sitting on a high pole.
When we got back here I phoned my friend in Struisbaai and he will now go and stake the bird out to see if he can get a shot of the Fish Eagle taking a fish out of the river.
Blessings!

Thank you Vibi.
It was indeed most wonderful to watch the sunrise from the start to the finish!
I also have another sunrise that I took the next day that looks very different, but I will post that one some other time.
