I've got a YouTube channel with well over 1,000 sunrises from the local beaches over the past 6+ years.
But I have to say, last Friday's sunrise had got to be in the top 10 of those.
If you want 45 minutes of beauty, watching the sun rise in real-time, here's a link: youtu.be/YXV7x4gkZtM?...
World's first sunrise, daily. Relax and watch the day dawn: 10 October 2025.
