A breathtaking scene worth waking up for, with my Samsung S6.

Thrice
Trying to capture the sunrise of the same area over 3 days. Loved the variety offered by mother nature.
On day one, it granted me an early biker.
On day 2, the sun hovered out of the clouds.
On day 3, I was blessed with tranquility.
It’s worth waking up early with my Samsung S6.
Heat
Yes, it’s damn hot these days and we complain a lot about the heat. But at least the beautiful sun still rises in the east and Earth is not fried yet. Live and appreciate what life has to offer. Feeling grateful with my Samsung S6.
Sweet
A marshmallow sunrise on Mother’s Day. Mothers are like marshmallows. Soft, sweet and a treat! Feeling deserving with my Samsung S6.
Clouds
The sun is overhead and we see even clearer now. The umbrella shade of the pine trees, their sprawling branches, the steep cliffs and the never-ending sea of clouds floating so low. I would have held my hands out to touch the clouds if I could, their mesmerising beauty almost hynoptized me into believing the impossible is possible.
Star-burst
The sun rises out of the horizon, blinding us with its rays, lighting up the darkness. The silhouette of the cliffs, trees, distant mountains are all amplified. They appeared taller and mightier under the rays. Mankind is but a speck of dust in nature’s greatness.
Horizon
In the serendipity of the mountains, we waited in the silence for the biggest spectacle of the day – the sunrise. Many photographers are perched around us, gear ready to shoot. It’s coming, the light peeps out of the horizon, ready to wow us.
Top of the world
My all time favourite is this photo which I used as my blog’s header. It was memorable and significant for me because:
- I travelled very far to China to pay a visit to Huang Shan.
- I woke up at unearthly hours to shoot the sunrise.
- I trekked for an hour in the dark, risking falling off the cliff, before I reached the lookout point.
- What greeted me at sunrise took my breath away.
- No pain, no gain. Every time, I see this shot, I feel like I’m on top of the world, holding the most precious pearl in my hand, grateful to be alive to see the beauty of the world.
Three
In a Chinese fairy tale, the sky is said to have nine suns, the kind had to hire the best archer in the land to shoot down eight suns so that earth will not burn. I wasn’t so lucky today but close enough. One sun in the sky, three reflections in the water. Feeling hot with my Samusng S6.
3 days
Weather has been beautiful where I lived for the past 3 days. So I decided to capture the sunrise at the same area for 3 consecutive days to see how it varies. And mother nature does not disappoint. In awe with my Samsung S6.
Day 1
Day 2
