The minute for the photo in Key West

Low clouds are closing off the horizon today, blocking the light that would catch the high clouds, so the best light is the low sun, as soon as it breaks through. Have your camera ready at 6:47 AM, 13 minutes after sunrise.

Aim east-southeast, at 107°, which is where the sun will be at that moment.
