“I hope you realize that every day is a fresh start for you. That every sunrise is a new chapter in your life waiting to be written.”
― Juansen Dizon
I woke up extra early this morning, relaxed and had a coffee. Went over my to do list for the day and one of the items was a cardio workout. Going up a set of stairs on the side of an escarpment. With 500 steps it is a great workout! My mental gears started to turn and I thought, it looks like a good morning for getting some shots of sunrise and well where better to shoot it from then the top of the escarpment? Camera in hand and less then 45 minutes to get there and up the stairs, I shot out the door.
I snapped the above photo with my phone going up the stairs and made it to the top with about 5 minutes to spare before the sun started to peak out from behind the clouds.
Because of how hazy of a morning it has been, I was able to get shots of the sun without the light rays (or very little) coming off of it, a first for me.
After taking my shots, I sat down to just enjoy the moment and let my mind drift off. There could be no better start to a day, I thought. Then expanded that to this morning is setting the tone for my week. Could there be a better way to start a week? For me the answer to that is no.
