6 minutes and 27 seconds from the boring life of a landscape photographer in the early morning. |
Silent Sunrise
Lake Wörthersee . Carinthia
Did I say "boring"?
OK, some of you might think getting up at 4:30 in the morning and waiting alone in the dark at a lake for the sun to rise must be very boring. But no, it isn't boring at all and even though I have had this experience a lot of times before it is always amazing to witness the awakening of the nature. |
Even if there was not the smallest cloud on the sky, the colors in the sky were beautiful. |

Did I say Silent?
Well, somehow the title "Silent ..." is not correct, because there was quite some noise. About one hundred meters out of sight on the left side there is a small island called "Kapuzinerinsel" which seems to be full of birds of all kinds, and they just woke up all together I think ;) |
I would recommend watching this video only if you are not already tired and with the volume turned up. |

Right behind my spot there is a road which is usually already quite busy at this early time of the day. Of course there have been 4 or 5 cars driving by in the 1.5 hours I have been there and I think I have also heard an airplane far away, but can you see contrails in the sky? The sky is clean - the air is cleaner than ever before and all you can hear is nature. It's sad to have to say something like that, but I will surely miss this peaceful silence everywhere when the Corona virus measures are loosened or even canceled. |

So, with this lovely poem from George Cooper I will end my today's post and wish you all a nice rest of the day and evening. |
Birdie's Morning Song
Wake up, little darling, the birdies are out,
And here you are still in your nest!
The laziest birdie is hopping about;
You ought to be up with the rest.
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
Oh, see what you miss when you slumber so long —
The dewdrops, the beautiful sky!
I can not sing half what you lose in my song;
And yet, not a word in reply.
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
I've sung myself quite out of patience with you,
While mother bends o'er your dear head;
Now birdie has done all that birdie can do:
Her kisses will wake you instead!
Wake up, little darling, wake up!
by George Cooper
There's just one last thing I have to say: |
Stay at home, take care and stay healthy!
