Where to look
The Sun will be 54° above the horizon towards the east-south-east. That is roughly the height of a raised fist held at arm’s length, stacked 5 times above the horizon. Pick a spot with nothing tall on that side: a beach or hillside facing east-south-east is ideal, while narrow streets and tall buildings to the east-south-east can block the view.
