I used to feel the same way as most of the folks who have already responded - who wanted to get up that early. Then, last summer, my wife and I took a photo class together where we had a couple of early morning field trips, and I got hooked on morning golden hour. You get a light quality in the morning that you just don't get in the evening. In any case, we were hooked on morning golden hour and sunrises.

Iâm up every day at 4 am ...7 days a week ....your sunrise is nice .., as so many have responded ... most are still in bed or just getting up at sunrise .., nature of the beast I guess ...
Takes a little extra effort to get up and out for a sunrise especially when working and then on your day off wanting the reward of getting to sleep in ..
Using a 24-70 ..no Tripod ....here attached is my last sunrise from a few years ago .. Taken from Magic Island looking across the Waikiki and Diamond Head

The last sunrise I photographed was at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. Sunsets are easier because you are already awake!.

Her's one of Ft Lauderdale taken in 2006 with a Canon EOS 5D, f10, 10 sec., ISO 200. I do not recall what lens I was using.
Some of my sunrise shots have been mistakenly idendified as sunsets. I can't get by that fence it takes away from the main subject.
Retired here,
I prefer to sleep in and shoot sunsets,
Very nice shot by the way
cant wake up early unless ive been drunk all night and never went to sleep.
Had to get up that early for 44 years, now I don't, and only see that during deer season.
