The sun had just risen over the Mediterranean island of Mallorca and a few joggers and dog walkers had arrived on the scene as I stood out on a jetty at Puerto Pollença having just finished shooting the stills for my Pollença Timelapse #1 time lapse video.
It was just a lovely peaceful scene at that time in the morning that I didn't want to pack up and leave just yet, so I started looking round for photo opportunities before the sun rose too high in the sky and the harsh light killed the atmosphere.
The sun hadn't warmed the air enough to start a breeze yet, so the surface of the sea in the port was still calm, allowing me to capture the reflections of these two pleasure boats as I walked back along the jetty.
Just a few minutes later and the light had become harsh, the temperature had gone up and a breeze arrived, so I made my way back to my car and then back to our apartment for an early swim.
What a lovely way to spend a morning!
