along the island causeway

a 530am drive over to the island.. where are all these peeps coming from.. cars galore.. decided too crowded for me on the beach so gave the boo-boo knee a long walk rest and stayed on the causeway waiting for the sunrise -- and even that got crowded with at least a dozen cars stopping -- normally I am the only one out there.. madness.. sunny all day.. 88* in the afternoon..

atop the Sunset Beach Bridge before sunrise heading over to the island

Crepuscular Rays before sunrise
