Hilton Head Sunrise - a photo on Flickriver

            The day I was in Hilton Head, the sun was rising due East, and I had online-scouted a location at the eastern most point of the island where two jetties intersect, which I thought would provide some nice foreground interest.

The only issue is that these are located adjacent to private homes, on an area of the beach for which there is no public access that I could find.  

I had hoped to park down at one of the hotels which was about a mile from this location.  However, when I arrived there in the pre-dawn dark, I discovered that those hotels had gated lots, leaving me several miles from my own hotel and no place to park.  

Now with only about 25 minutes to spare, I finally came across a small public lot about 2 miles down the beach from the jetties.  Parking there, I ended up running most of the 2 miles up the beach in order to arrive just in time to catch the sunrise.

It didn't end up being the most spectacular ever, but it was still a beautiful spot to watch the day break.

This is a digitally blended composite of two exposures.
