We had the beginnings of a beautiful sunrise between the horizon and this cloud deck. Unfortunately, just as the sun was breaking the horizon, so was the cloud deck lower edge, and it blocked out the sun just as it peeked over the horizon.

I did manage some shots with the Nikon DSLR, and will post them at some point.
Sunrise was at 6:01am HST, and it took another 15 minutes or so for the sun to move high enough onto the sky for this shot:

The sun finally broke above the cloud deck about 6:25am:

Here is a sunrise panorama of the Kauai Beach area, just north of Lihue:

Along with a panorama looking into the Kauai Beach Resort from the beach shortly after sunrise:

And another from our lanai that I took about 6:40am:
