5 o'clock in the morning. I looked out the window, and it still seemed dark outside. But I had to go for a walk with the dog. I waited for about half an hour and went out into the courtyard. The dog was happy to see me, and we went for a walk. I decided to go to the quarry.

I was away from home for a week; I toured Belarus. During this time, the trees turned yellow, and there were even more fallen leaves on the ground. I know that it didn't rain last week, and it will be comfortable to walk.
When I left the house, I saw that the sky was turning yellow in the east, so I needed to hurry to get to the quarry and take a sunrise photo while I was there.

I didn't have time to reach the quarry. Yellow paint with a hint of orange had spread in the eastern part of the sky and was already beginning to fade.

It seems to me that I have been away from home for a long time. On my last trip to the quarry, I saw machinery here - excavators and dump trucks. This time, the quarry was empty and quiet. Even the guardhouse was gone. This means the quarry is closed until spring, and work has stopped.

Maybe there will be more water here next year. The water has nowhere to go, and in the spring the snow melts here, increasing the amount of water.

The water in the lake is clean and transparent. Lime contributes to this. In summer, the water can be cloudy because people spoil it by lifting lime from the bottom. I went to the shore, and the small fish swam away from me. And, of course, Nora immediately jumped into the water. She loves to run on the water.

I wonder if the motorcyclists are coming down the mountain here or going up the mountain? It's good that it's dry today; I'll be able to climb up in this place. If it were wet, then the climb would be difficult. But I overcame this obstacle, and we went home. Nora wanted to run some more, but we had to go home.
