There is a viewpoint on the lake which is the best place to watch the sunrise.  It takes about 10 minutes to canoe round there.  At this time of year we leave about 5.30 am by the clock.  We arrived just before the light hit Mount Monarch.

The advantage of the canoe trip is that behind the island the lake is calmer and you can usually see reflections.  Rapidly, the light changed.

Sam took the canoe back into the water.

And the light changed again

Sam took this photo of a tree.

And here we are canoeing home for breakfast.
