This blog post is submitted as an entry to this week’s photo challenge.
It’s not often I wake up early enough to catch a sunrise. I’m not a morning person in general. But there’s something about being away on a beach holiday that makes you want to see things that you normally won’t bother waking up to. The following shot was taken around 6 am.
Early morning sunrise, in Batu Ferringhi, Penang
A strong cup of coffee is mandatory for a fresh renewed start to the day. This coffee was from McD (surprise surprise) and the guy at the counter was in surprisingly high spirits at 7 am. He’d definitely had some coffee.

Thanks for my morning laugh – I need THAT coffee!
Sometimes the smallest of things can certainly perk you up
What a beautiful sunrise! I love the coffee message.
Thanks so much! Yeah the waiter clearly had had a good night’s sleep
Your photos are beautiful..
Thank you so much xx
