Day 8.283: Sunrise over Saco Bay

Unlike the sunrise photos I posted yesterday, these were taken with my phone in the middle of my run on Saturday morning. I happened to be at Old Orchard Beach at low tide as the sun came up.

Earlier in the run I'd seen some lightning lighting up the insides of these clouds near the horizon. It was quite spectacular in the pre-dawn darkness. By the time I got to the beach, it was clear that they were a long way away.

I kept putting the phone away to get on with running and then seeing that the light had changed and getting it out again.

And again.

Eventually, the sun made an appearance from behind the clouds:
