I am sitting in the car, there is a strong wind outside and the temperature is -1.2 degrees. I am looking at the horizon, the sun is rising, the camera is kept in the bag. I am feeling restless seeing the scene visible from the car. I am rubbing my gloved hands and in my mind I am imagining that if only a fire is born inside me and I forget the cold and get out of the car and click some great shots.
I like thinking a lot, and such thinking in which I take the right step at the right time. In my imagination I am a hero. When I sat in the car and thought for so long that now the red ball of the sun started shining above the horizon, then finally I accepted to be a hero in reality and took off the gloves and opened the car window and came out.
Opened the back window and took out my bag in which my camera is kept. Till now I have motivated myself and filled my chest with heat like fire but as soon as I open the zip of the bag and hold the camera, all my motivation disappears in the desert sand.
The camera is so cold that it feels like I have held an ice ball in -1.2 degree temperature. The mind is hanging due to the cold but with the mind slowing down I thought that if I wear gloves then the problem will be solved and I wore the gloves from the front sheet but now the next problem started. The screen of the camera cannot be touched while wearing gloves.
After taking off the gloves I finally pick up the camera in my hand because every second the sun is knocking on the horizon rapidly. I quickly click a few pictures, the photos are coming out great with sand patterns. While clicking I am thinking that if only I had a tripod then I would click a timelapse but for now if I click a few things, it is enough. After 7-8 clicks, I sit in the car again because my body was getting cold outside.
It is very common to get pneumonia or hypothermia in these ravines and I do not want to do this to myself at all. I sit in the car, wear gloves and live this scene from inside. This is the whole story of this post and I hope you liked this scene and story.
