Welcome to week 151 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge.
This week’s theme is another instance of surprised that I haven’t used this theme before! While Morning has been a theme, Sunrise has not been used yet. As I always look for the themes to be accessible to everyone, I figured that the Sun is available to most of us, Earthlings. Of course, it does happen early in the day, so night owls might be disadvantaged, but I’m sure their creative minds can come up with a workaround for rising early!
Most of all, have a lot of fun with this theme!!
This sunrise is from last week…

I had the fun of spending a day with fellow photographers, braving the cold of the Maine coast! The temperature at this time was only 3F(-16C), but the sunrise was spectacular, and putting it behind the Portland Head lighthouse made for a dramatic image…
The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
Looking forward to see what comes round the bend this week!

Beautifully photographed!
Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous colours and a beautiful scenery!
Wowza! We visited that lighthouse in Maine a few months ago. What a very wonderful shot! Congrats!
Thank you very much! It made getting out there early worth it.
A wonderful shot – I will try to find a sunrise…but I am sure I do not have many…
Looking forward to it!
Found some from a spectacular morning some years ago – the sun was there too…but the main thing was the cranes. And then, Umeå https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/tuesday-photo-challenge-sunrise/

Thank you, Sandy. Those colors are stunning!
It was one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen.
Your photo is so beautiful! It is my favorite time of day https://dailymusing57.com/2019/03/13/tuesday-photo-challenge-sunrise/
That’s a gorgeous set of images! I really like sunrise in the Winter, as I don’t have to get up too early.
Mine was reused from last year, but also Maine! It’s such a beautiful state. https://touringwithkids.com/2018/03/29/sunrise-on-cadillac-mountain/
Wonderful series of shots!
That’s a lovely photo.
It turns out that I have very few photos of sunrises. I seldom wake up that early. But here’s one, finally: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2019/03/14/a-desolation-of-salt/
It looks like it was worth getting up early! Great shots!
🙂 Thanks.
