Viewpoint sunrise
The days on Lesbos started early for us. At least this gave me the opportunity to shoot some nice sunrises. We are here because refugee boats often came to the island in the early morning. I'm guessing this is because the Turkish coastguard is still sleeping and not (as) active. Boats crossing risk being stopped by the Turkish coastguard and brought back to Turkey. They are harassed, hosed with water, bumped into, to make them stop. On our viewpoint, all we can do is hope they make it across safely.
