Alcudia Bay on the northern coast of Mallorca is quite a busy tourist trap, with the beach usually crowded with sun worshippers.
But not at six in the morning!
At this time I had the beach pretty much to myself, with just a few joggers and dog walkers for company.
I'd just finished shooting the stills for my Sunrise at Alcudia time lapse video and was thinking about a bacon butty (it's strange - the thoughts that come into your head early in the morning!) when some other early risers appeared on the rickety jetty stretching out into the bay.
A bit of an exposure adjustment, a few clicks of the shutter and I had a nice 'human interest' image to finish off the morning's shoot.
Time for that bacon butty at last.
