Sunrise at Coast Guard Beach

The 4am alarm to get to Coast Guard Beach at the Cape Cod National Seashore hit me like a ton of bricks but ended up being well worth it. Although there was a dramatic sunrise off to the east, I like how the calm steely blue tones of the clouds and ocean contrast with the warm golden glow on the fence and the dune grass.
