On Monday morning I woke up my daughter early, and we headed from our hotel room to the beach a block away in Ocean City, New Jersey.
She took her iPad, and I took photos with both my Canon Rebel camera and my Samsung Galaxy 4 phone. It was a fun morning to view the skies. The day before had been rainy – I think that helped with the drama of the skies. The top photo was taken a few minutes before the lower one. It’s fun to watch the skies gradually change.
We tried the same experiment two days later, but my daughter was much more tired and the skies not as dramatic. I would love to photograph Ocean City sunrise again sometime. If you get all the variables right, waking up for sunrise on a beach can be wonderful.
There are lots of amusements on the boardwalk in Ocean City. We went on two different Ferris wheels, one time at night. But there is no liquor sold – it’s a dry town, so lots of families come. I took the Ferris wheel sunrise photo before the top two sunrise on the beach photos.

You have just reminded me of Skywatch Friday! Beautiful scenes.
These are beautiful.
stunning sky photos! very beautiful colors!
What gorgeous skies! I wish I was more of a morning person – sunrises can be spectacular = like yours
And at night time I wish I were more awake! I’m often the first to go to sleep in my family.
Oh the colors are beautiful…. I prefer not to be around people drinking…. Michelle
It seems like on the Jersey Shore you have to know where to go and what to avoid. My husband did good research for this vacation.
What stunning sunrise photographs. The colors are so vivid!
Dry towns are nice!
That’s a gorgeous sunrise.
Glorious early morning views of the beach.
Gorgeous photos. I hope your vacation was great.
Sunrise was the highlight for me. For my daughter, it was visiting the Humane Society and petting the cats. She could have spent her whole vacation doing that.
Sounds like my daughter!
What a lovely sunrise Leora, beautiful photos!
Lovely sunset shots …. amazing colors!

Beautiful start for the day!
The red in the first one is so dramatic. It’s been at least a year since I took any sunrise photos, but I did get some great sunset photos last spring outside of Charleston.
Marvelous! Sunrise on the Atlantic is a special time.
An absolutely stunning sky!!
fabulous colors in your sky this week, thanks for sharing with sky watch Friday
