Sunrise at St. John in the US Virgin Islands - USVI
I woke up early before sunrise one morning during our stay on St. John. I walked out of our bedroom sliding glass door to the porch and set up my camera on the tripod. I photographed the sky as it lit up and watched the clouds march across. All to the tune of the roosters in the distance!
