Winter sunrises can be spectacular off the South Florida coast at sunrise at Matheson Hammock. The colors can explode across the sky as the sun begins to rise over the ocean as the cool northern wind carries the clouds above the water

Sunrise Photography by Lee Smith
Matheson Hammock, Miami, FL
I took many photos of this morning, each image has it’s own impression to me. The sun had just risen past the clouds between the palm trees and my lens created the slight star effect. In the distance, you can see the cranes of the Port of Miami and the condos of Key Biscayne.
I get up early to travel to my locations before the sun rises in the east, because the time before dawn is so special. The bright colors of the sky that are created by the slowly rising sun are spectacular and are never the same. There are elements of the environment that can affect what colors we see, like clouds, dust, salt air and even pollution, these factors can create unique mixtures like an artist’s painting easel to to create the most beautiful colors of each dawning day.
