The sunrise is always worth a post or two

I was standing on my balcony, just outside the kitchen early on the morning of January 2nd and simply had to document the sunrise although still a little dark.

Okay, so I didn't stand out there the whole time...I was in and out...and the sun snuck up on me.

I knew this was one of the last pictures for this segment, as the brightness of the sun crept over the roof lines of nearby homes, I decided to swing to the left and get a close up of the palms.

I am going to make it a point to post something about the island next time...maybe a sunny walk in nearby Taormina, or an adventure in Ragusa which I have yet to visit.
