Day 019, Year 4 - Early Morning In Abu Dhabi

I got up before sunrise this morning in Abu Dhabi to try and get a sunrise shot. I did take shots towards the sun itself but with no clouds out here in the desert it is dramatic for a very brief time.

But I walked for a bit near my hotel and just snapped away and got this on the way round. I like it because I haven't done a light trail for a while and I like that this is a morning shot so not the typical time of day for trails.

Another shot from slightly later in the morning can be see here:

3 good things:

1 - I'm really enjoying being up nice and early for a change
2 - A great day on site with very lovely weather
3 - A very long run, 9.86 miles this evening along the Corniche in Abu Dhabi
