Farewell to Winter (Sunrise at Jūrmala beach)

| Latvia | 21 seen

It was in the early April morning, I couldn't sleep, and decided to grab a camera and catch a lovely sunrise at the nearby Jūrmala beach. I remembered the times we use to live in Batumi, Georgia and went out for a walk just shortly before sunrise. Jūrmala ain't no Batumi, but still, can I get some mood out of it?

After this morning's short photo walk I decided to start my second 365 days photo challenge, that said - Farewell to Winter.

Each year, we carve out about three weeks to leave Tbilisi behind and head somewhere sunnier. And more often than not, that “somewhere” turns out to be India.Our…
