Only in the mornings does a particular type of silence exist.
A quiet that feels full rather than empty. Full of potential, full of meaning, full of silent truths just waiting to be discovered.
My little hometown's rooftops and trees were bathed in the first rays of golden light when these pictures were taken in the early morning. The majority of people were still asleep when I strolled along well-known routes that felt brand-new all of a sudden, changed by the gentle embrace of the rising sun.
Shadows stretched like whispers from another era, statues stood like guardians of the past, and there was a promise in the air that I couldn't quite put into words, but could only sense.
I'm reminded that beauty doesn't shout in situations like these. It murmurs.
There was no destination in mind for this morning's stroll. It was about coming back to myself, to be present, to be grateful. The shots weren't planned by me. I just let the light guide me and, when something moved me, I clicked the shutter.
In an attempt to feel alive, we occasionally pursue far-off places. But what if the wonder we're looking for is already here, hidden away in the nooks and crannies of our daily existence, just waiting for us to slow down?
Allow these ten pictures to serve as a glimpse into that peaceful realm. Even in this restless era, there is still a world where peace can be found in noticing rather than in noise.
I appreciate you taking the time to join me in appreciating this morning's subtle beauty. I hope you start your day with the same calm and brightness.🙃✌️
