Every morning I ride home from work the views across the water are spectacular. It doesn't matter what the weather may be doing, or not doing, as long as daylight is breaking the islands and the tidal waters surrounding the road offer a view.
It is rare the morning that i choose to stop and take picture. My dog is waiting at home for her morning walk and she knows it takes forty minutes for me to get home. Around 6:35 am she is awake and listening for the sound of the Bonneville approaching, so says my wife who watches Cheyenne get ready.
I got home close to seven Saturday morning but I was groveling around with my gorilla pod http://joby.com/store/gorillapod?gclid=CJ7H38_D1qgCFYwH2godwA4gIg and I ended up under the bridge because I liked the look of the pilings in the half light. These are more conventional views from the highway: 
This is my only road so it shows up from time to time in these pages. http://conchscooter.blogspot.com/2009/12/winter-like-summer.html 
And I have no doubt when next I ride home from work next week the Keys will have another and different show to put on alongside the road.

Simply stunning!
Thank you- it's not redwoods and mountains but I find it always interesting to look at as I ride by.
When I first moved to key West back in 1978 I worked as an electrician on the Tennessee Williams Preforming Arts Building which is located next to the Community College on Stock Island. My brother and I were tasked with installing the lighting protection system on top of the building. Since we started at daybreak, we were gifted with the opportunity of observing sunrise every day. This is an experience I will always remember and I have told many people since then that the sunrises in the Keys are every bit as exquisite as the sunsets.
fxrguy- very true. luckily because of my work hours I see more sunrises than sunsets...
