In La Ventana (window in Spanish), Baja Sur, Mexico, the sun rises about 6:45am in January over the Sea Of Cortez. I set my alarm while on our windsurfing vacation because I knew I could capture shots like this one.
Notice the molten sunrise reflected in the window.
Being a West coast dweller, seeing a sunrise over an ocean is rare for me.
I hope you enjoyed this photo submitted for the Weekly Photo Challenge!

Thanks, Lisa! This particular area is known for amazing wind from November to march. Got a few good west coast sunsets somewhere. I need a few more from around the world like you must have π
What a wonderful place to wake up! I was in such a rush to get to the Pacific that I didn’t manage to sail the Sea of Cortez. It is supposed to be a wonderful cruising ground and your photo of the sunrise there certainly makes it look like a place I want to visit.
And would love to see some snaps of your West Coast sunsets π
Wonderful capture!
