Monochromatic Morning

The jet-lagged traveler thinks there's no way she could sleep for 12 hours and miss the beginning of a scheduled hike. But the jet-legged traveler just slept 10 quite handily, so who knows what she could do. 

Now she's fully awake and looking at a sky-scape and city-scape of such generosity and grandeur that she doesn't quite know how to bring it to life on the electronic page. 

The sun is just peeking from behind a small clutch of clouds that are producing some rain across the bay, and a small ferry is moving quickly toward a small island. To my left is the old town, still in slumbering shadow. Directly ahead ... the Atlantic Ocean, which seems to be everywhere you look. This is, after all, an island. And one we'll be exploring soon. 

(It looks monochromatic but that's only because I was snapping a shot directly into the sun.)
