Comments: It was 15 minutes after sunrise and still there was not even a hint that the day had begun. As I walked through the fog-shrouded pinelands, I checked my watch several times...thinking that I had accidentally arrived too early. The thick fog hid the light for almost 30 minutes before the sun blazed through in a burst of crepuscular rays. It was worth the wait!
