Skylog: Sunrise on the East Coast

A year and a half ago, I moved to beachside to be closer to my new job.  I must say that life here is quite different than where I was over a year ago, even though the difference in distance is only a matter of a few miles.  I feel very, very fortunate to have found this place, which not only affords me a short car/bike ride to work (thereby saving on gas), but also a nice community and a beach access just across the street.  Most of the people living on beachside are fitness oriented: My co-workers often take morning/afternoon dips in the ocean, and I found myself drawn to jogging on the beach during low tides.  It is a few degrees cooler during the summer, and the constant breeze from the ocean is a relief from the sweltering heat during the middle of the year.

In the morning when I am up early enough (generally due to insomnia), I can walk across the street and be gifted with such a view.  So after many moons of absence, I present to you, the first Skylog of 2012: Sunrise on the East Coast.
