The downtown waterfront in Zihuatanejo has a life of its own, and no matter what else is happening in the area, much of what happens every morning on the Playa Principal and in the bay is mostly a seasonal routine that is pretty much the same day after day and year after year. Often I look at photos of the waterfront and the year the photo was taken is indistinguishable. This is one of those timeless scenes.

Almost every morning before the sun breaks the horizon there is about a 5-minute period when spectacular reds and yellows illuminate the sky, and if there are any clouds to the east the effect is magnified. This morning was no exception.
