Daily sunrise photo

[sfred]

Being out of sunrise/set photos from ships, my contribution today is from my morning walk in Brisbane.  This stretch of the Brisbane River at Teneriffe and New Farm has a long seafaring history, initially for wool and sugar export, and then as a major Australia/US/UK submarine base during WW2.  Now it is residential, with a walking/running/bicycle path, and great sunrises during morning walks.

Sometimes a sunrise can catch you unexpecting, like this one from the Enchamtment of the Seas February 4, 2013 just as we were arriving in Baltimore:

Here's another sunset photo taken during our Brilliance of the Seas cruise. This one shows hilltops in the port of Muscat, Oman immediately after the sun had set behind them on November 18th 2011. We departed port about half an hour after this photo was taken.

Today's sunrise is from my 2015 Maasdam cruise Ft. Lauderdale to Rio.  On February 5 we were just south of Devils Island:

My contribution today is the last of my series of sunset photos from our Brilliance of the Seas voyage. This one was taken the evening of November 19th 2011 in the Persian Gulf prior to our arrival at Abu Dhabi the next morning.

Today's sunrise is from my last completed voyage, Crystal Serenity Los Angeles to Sydney with planned connections on QM2 to New York.  On February 6 we visited Raiatea:

This may be the last photo of mine I can contribute to this thread. This time it's from a Cunard ship and it's a sunrise photo, or perhaps more precisely a photo taken not too long after the sun came up over the hills in the distance. This one was taken from QE on the morning of November 28th 2012 off the coast of Italy in the vicinity of Naples. The captain determined the conditions would not allow us to call at Naples that day.

Today's sunrise is from my 2015 Maasdam cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Rio.  On February 7 we were at sea between the Equator and Belem, Brazil.

Today's sunrise is another case of the sun struggling to emerge from cloudy skies.  This was February 8, 2018 from my 2018 Crystal 2-ship World Cruise with the Crystal Serenity being waved off a call at Yasawa-I-Rara, Fiji:

Here's a sunrise image from my webcam archives. This is a capture from the Solent View webcam found at "isleofwightwebcams.co.uk". It shows QM2 near Ryde heading to Southampton on the morning of June 5th 2020.

Today's sunrise is from my 2016 Crystal Symphony Antarctica cruise.  On February 9 we were supposed to visit Punta Arenas but were unable to due to strong winds:

Today's sunrise is instead a sunset.  It's the first one from my 2012 Zaandam Far East Cruise (Bangkok to Hong Kong),  On February 10 we visited Sihanoukville:

Here are a couple more webcam captures from "isleofwightwebcams.co.uk". These are showing sunrise images of QM2 approaching Cowes on the way to Southampton as seen from their Cowes Yachting webcam. The first is from July 15th 2020 and the second is from August 19th 2020.

I thought I would mention here that Roy (rafinmd) is in the hospital for a few days.  Someone posted on the HAL board to let us know, and I know he posts on this forum often, too.  

[sfred]

Thanks @Vict0riann.  Very sorry to hear that.  Best wishes @rafinmdto get well soon.

[rafinmd]

I had not planned to have 2 strait sunrises from my 2012 Zaandam Southeast Asia cruise, but after 2 unexpected days in the hospital it is happening.  On February 13, 2012, the Zaandam visited Na Trang, Vietnam.

Good to see you're back posting, Roy. I'll add two QM2 bridge webcam sunrise images today.

 

The first one is from QM2's 2012 world voyage. The time shown is GMT. On this date, she was about half way between Port Louis, Mauritius and Fremantle, Australia. That would have her heading east at perhaps GMT+6 local time.

 

 

The second image is very timely. I captured this one early yesterday morning. QM2 is in Southampton docked at berth 104 (Fruit Terminal) which is unusual but then these are unusual times. The ship immediately in front of QM2 is Norwegian Encore at berth 101 (City Terminal). QV is also there in the background to the right at berth 46 (Ocean Terminal).

It's been some time since I've had a sunrise from my 2019 Prinsendam Grand South America and Antarctica  cruise, but this is the day.  A bit later on Valentines Day we were in Puerto Madryn:

It has not been a good week with my brother's passing yesterday.  I debated on suspending the daily sunrises but I think I need them as much as anybody, and will plan to continue until I am admitted to the hospital.  Today's is from my 2020 World Cruise transferring from Crystal Serenity to QM2.  On February 15 Serenity was at sea from Fiji to New Zealand:

My sympathies, @rafinmd, very sorry to hear that.  Thank you for the daily sunrises.  They certainly have brightened my mornings.

[Host Hattie]

I'm so sorry Roy, thank you for continuing with the sunrise posts. It's good to have some positivity. 

[rafinmd]

Thank you Host Hattie. Today's sunrise is from my 2018 Crystal 2-ship World Cruise.  On February 16 Crystal Serenity arrived in Sydney where I eventually transferred  to the Crystal Symphony:
