I love that! Being that the VI's are 3 hrs. ahead of me, I'm never up early enough to see that, so thanks for posting it!

Thanks for that, Anthony. Sunrise is my favorite time. I'm always up and out for it!

A beatiful pic. It's mostly sunset I see- I'm not an
early-riser :( -, but sunrise is lovely too.

I have some great sunrise shots from when I lived there - I will post some soon. I am not one to get up early either - but when I did, I almost always grabbed my camera!

We have two important things in STT where we stay:

Curtains that don't quite cover early light AND a rooster.

Sunrise: it's easy!

Were is the best place on STT for sunrise pics, we stay at the Elysian and would love to see some great sunrises (we have tons of sunset pics).

onislandtime, I thought you'd be in a great spot, in the south, for the sunrise. What's in your way?

Here's the sunrise from South Shore Villa last December.
Disclaimer: Photographer was Hey Jude - I never get up early enough to catch a sunrise. :oops:

sapphiecat,

Cowpet East and the Elysian, as your facing the south the sunrise is off of your left shoulder and the buildings block much of the sunrise :( I'd like to try to get some nice straight on sunrise pics.
