When the sun rises in this view

This is a view for summer sunrises: from late April to mid-August the sun rises inside this frame, straight out of the open sea to the right of the distant Esterel mountains, a minute or two after the official sunrise time.

Around the June solstice it rises closest to the mountains, in the middle of the right half of the view. From mid-August to late April it rises beyond the right edge of this view.
