Sunrise, Sunset

Last week I was on the Mississippi gulf coast for work. Since the weather was so beautiful there I made sure to get out as much as I could. I took these pictures at sunrise and sunset, respectively, on Tuesday February 16, 2016. The temperature there was in the high 60s and low 70s in the day time.
