You all what is sunrise so some words about Zanzibar:
Zanzibar, as used today, is the collective name for two East African islands off mainland Tanzania: Unguja (also called Zanzibar) and Pemba. The capital of the islands, located on the island of Unguja, is also known as Zanzibar. The city's old quarter, known as Stone Town, is a World Heritage Site. The population of Zanzibar was 981,754 in the 2002 census, and its area is 1,651 km˛ (637 mi˛).

Zanzibar's main industries are spices which include (cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pepper), raffia, and tourism. Zanzibar is also the home of the endemic Zanzibar Red Colobus.
The word "Zanzibar" probably derives from the Persian زنگبار, Zangi-bar ("coast of the blacks"). However, the name could also have been derived from the Arabic Zayn Z'al Barr ("fair is this land"). "Zanzibar" often refers especially to Unguja Island and is sometimes referred to as the "Spice Islands," though this term is more commonly associated with the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Pemba Island is the only island apart of Zanzibar that still produces cloves on a major basis which is the primary source of spice income for the islands.

Hi Aivar

Very beautiful scenery, tranquil blue ocean, and lovely peaceful sunrise. The breaking of a new day often times have just as stunning colours and are just as exquisite as any sunset one can see. Those are the times of day when the Creator / Maintainer of everything take out His colour crayons and starts painting the sky. How fortunate we are to witness these scenes and to be able to capture it and share it with others.

The composition is great and (if I may be hipper critical) the only small nit is that the horizon drops, ever so slightly, towards the left hand side. Actually you attained some wonderful details on the water surface considering the slow shutter speed at 1/50. The colours are attractive, and the exposure was well managed.

Good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot
