you captured a beautiful sunrise perfectly

Gracias, amigo. I hurried from my home to the beach when I saw the red glow growing, but there were so many tourists standing up and down te beach taking photos it was almost hard to find a spot. One of the things I thought was cool, and I don't know how well it shows up on other people's monitors, was how the combination of darkness and the red glow made the sand look almost purple. I don't recall ever seeing that deep purple before.

Saludos,

Things are finally calming down after the New Year celebrations as people run out of fireworks. Thank goodness! Families continue arriving all excited to be at the beach, radiant with the most beautiful smiles on faces young and old. A walk along the waterfront to the pier at night is like swimming against the current as the throngs of tourists continue arriving from Playa Las Gatas well after dark, all sunburned and tired but still happy to be here with their family and friends. And early the next morning more families are arriving and discovering the beach and marveling at the sunrise. I practically had to stand in line to get a couple of photos of the morning's splendorous colors. I hope you like them.
