On my way home after a night shift, managed to capture the sun coming up.

Oh lucky you,thats an Omega sunset,so called because it resembles the greek letter.More obvious when the sun is slightly higher.
Caused by warm water that bends the sunlight as it comes toward you resulting in an inverted image of the sun beneath the setting sun.(if your interested.lol)
Tried to get this numerous times of Holborn Head and failed miserably.

Very nicely done indeed!!!
