first blink - Erstes Blinzeln - a photo on Flickriver

            A moment full of magic, when the new day is freeing itself from the darkness. After only three hours of sleep I hit the trail, alone through the dark forest of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, to end here on top of mt. Kleiner Winterberg waiting for the sun to rise. And then, when you have focused to the horizon for a felt eternity, watching the play of the colours and than you can see the sun for the first time, that’s smashing. Every single second of this journey was a gift, I'm infinitely grateful for. 

Ein Moment voller Magie, wenn sich der neue Tag aus der Dunkelheit befreit. Nach nur drei Stunden Schlaf habe ich mich auf den Weg gemacht, allein durch den dunklen Wald des Elbsandsteingebirges, um dann hier, auf dem kleinen Winterberg auf den Sonnenaufgang zu warten. Und wenn du dann eine gefühlte Ewigkeit den Horizont fixiert und das Farbenspiel beobachtet hast, und dann das erste mal die Sonne zu sehen ist, das ist umwerfend. Jede einzelne Sekunde dieser Tour war ein Geschenk, für das ich unendlich dankbar bin.
