One morning on my Panama visit I got up early, about 5:30am, and hit the beach with my iPhone camera. I walked east. I wanted to get some shots of the sunrise. I did and the pics were spectacular.
After I had enough pics I turned back to retrace my steps.
Look what I saw in the western sky.
Here's a pic of the moon setting.
Gorgeous.
And look at that lovely, peaceful beach.
You can tell I was the only idiot up at that hour.

You would not have been alone had I been along. The best time to walk the beach and catch both the sun rising and the moon beginning to set. Fantastic shot, buddy.
Sumptious! We all should trek to the beach so early.
Lovely shot. You are no idiot - that is the best time to walk the beach. Last summer my brother and I walked at that hour - beautiful!
Wow. Those iphones. They ain't just for talkin' anymore! Very nice pic. Me likey.
That is an extraordinary photo! Beautiful! And that hour is when things look at their most magical. Not people though. People look better after 10 AM.
What a beautiful photograph, dufus. It was definitely worth getting up at that hour. I wish I could have seen that.. Isn't it funny how the moon was setting in Panama as it was rising in Finland,
That is so true.
I will definitely use this pictures as inspiration next time I go to the beach, and now I really do want to go. Absolutely beautiful.
That is really a pretty shot...makes me want to take a trip.
This photo is really beautiful, and it makes me long for the ocean even more than I normally do. I wish I'd been there.
Which is not me saying I want to take long walks on the moonlit beach with you.
Jeesh.
Why in the name of all things good and holy were you up at 5:30? You should go see a therapist about that.
I wet the bed.
I'm hurt. I was so looking forward to it. Barefoot in the sand. Sigh
The beach was absolutely gorgeous.
Glad I inspired you.
You know I'm so glad I went to Panama last month. I've been able to use so many pictures.
Yeah, I'm kinda glad I was alone at that hour. I was not exactly as spectacular looking as the moon.
Yeah, who knew? I hardly ever use it as a phone!
It really is a special time of the day. So tranquil.
But that would spoil the whole effect! ;)
Thanks, Cheryl. It was like I was in a different world. So peaceful. Just me and the birds.
Getting up at the crack of dawn was definitely worth it! This is a gorgeous photo. Wasn't it nice being the only one on the beach? Great shot!
And the ocean, beach, and trees.
On the contrary, Dufus, I think you were the only intelligent one. What a gorgeous scene.
Hey. I didn't see you there. How do you know?
And the waves. They waved to me.
It was great, indeed. I'm glad you enjoyed the pic. It was worth it getting up at that hour to get that shot.
Nicky? Did you just pay me a compliment? Hey, what have you done with the real Nicky?
totally-super-fabulous. Looks SO inviting!
Of course they did. No one else was around.
I can't believe how good your iPhone camera shots came out throughout this challenge so far - this one is the best yet (and probably the best of the day)!
Or, is it maybe that you just got an early tee time and went looking for your ball? In that case, look up, look waaaay up!" Heh, heh.
Gorgeous photo, really.
;-)
Oh it was. And at that time of the morning you miss the heat of the day which got up to around 40C.
For a point and shoot guy like me the iPhone really gave me some great photos. Thanks, 00dozo.
Oh, yeah.
Idiot? NO! Very VERY smart person!
Yeah - I'm with 00dozo - your iphone shots have been amazing. I'm thinking of doing my portrait one from an iphone shot. I love your moon photo. Love it.
Beautiful...I wouldn't have been up, though, at 5:30 to get that photo myself, but for you, it works. :)
Beautiful photo. I slept through all of the moons phases this month which is why I came up with nothin'.
Oh, Katherine. Who am I to argue?
Pretty surprising, isn't it? I was pleasantly surprised.
The moon shot (no pun intended) was a bonus. Here's one of the pictures of the sunrise I was after...also a gorgeous shot.
Geez, Mike, didn't you know the early bird gets the moon photo?
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Nora. The interesting thing is I went out to snap pics of the sunrise and caught this quite by accident.
