I have to admit something first — I am not a morning person.
I genuinely like sleeping in, taking my time and starting the day slowly. But with the kind of job I do, that is not always an option.
Early mornings are very often unavoidable. Alarms go off when the world is still half asleep and coffee becomes more of a necessity than a pleasure.
But there is one undeniable advantage to waking up early — moments like this.
This photo was taken in POLAND, my home country, on one of the parking spots where I stopped before starting my route that day. No southern landscapes, no exotic destination. Just a quiet field, a small group of trees and the first light of the rising sun slowly breaking through the mist.
Standing there for a moment, before the engine starts and the road takes over, everything feels calm and still. The air is cool, the colors are soft and the world seems to move a little slower, at least for a few minutes.
I like to start my day in such way. So this is what I genuinely appreciate about this job. Even though early mornings can be tough, they sometimes reward you with views like this.
And suddenly waking up before sunrise doesn’t feel like a sacrifice anymore — it feels like a privilege.
