Daily Photo – The Beach at 6am

I spent the morning walking the beach that stretches from St Clair to St Kilda Beach, occasionally breaking away from the multitude of footprints to wander through the sand dunes, before clambering back up to rejoin the shoreline.

The morning was fine and clear, the overnight wind had dropped away leaving a rather pleasant morning as the sun rose over the horizon. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to stay this way. The forecast was for showers to develop in the morning, turning heavy by the afternoon. By Dunedin’s standards, that seemed to be developing into a fairly regular weather pattern. Thus the reason I decided to go for a shuffle along the beach and trip through the dunes during the best part of the day — which as it turned out, was right around 6am.
