Another day, another beach sunrise

With Covid-19 travel restrictions limiting us to an advisory 10 mile limit I have restricted myself to keeping to this (more or less).  The prospect of 30-40% cloud cover at sunrise  seemed like an opportunity to try get one of those (elusive) spectacular skies. 

Sadly the cloud cover was much less than forecast and mainly limited (again) to the area just above the horizon.  Cloud on the horizon isn’t always a bad thing, especially if it is low cloud and allows the pre-sunrise light to illuminate any high cloud.  

This morning there was a lovely patch of thin wispy cloud over the middle distance but unfortunately the wind was dispersing it and by the time the good light appeared it was only a pale imitation of what it had been.

The other issue was that the tide was higher than I expected at my location and I was limited  to using a few small rocks and associated pools on the beach as foreground.

The remains of the thin cloud delicately lit by the sun about 10 minutes before sunrise.
