Blissful morning

I'm back. And I'm here posting an entry after a hot shower and a hot cup of tea.

So this was definitely one of the best mornings of my life!

I rode to this place which is just made for watching sunrise. I had it marked on my gps, though I was sure I could find it with not much effort. And I did! (I was there last about a year or so ago)

I stopped on the way to take a snap and realised I left my camera memorystick in my other purse. What a shame ) Anyways I went on as I was determined to drink my cup of coffee facing the sun. I arrived just in time as it was already light enough but the sun wasn't yet to be seen. I "parked" the bicycle and climbed the tree to see the world up this thing (about 5 flights of stairs, i didn't count) and then up there I knew I felt good. I was just standing there and doing nothing, just smiling to myself. I felt so relaxed and sooo blissful. This is the word. The sky was pale blue with a group of little white clouds scattered across it. I looked around, spotted some recognizable high buildings.

And then just stood there and waited sipping my coffee.

And then it all began!

The sun was getting up so fast that it was hard to make up my mind of what to contemplate! My parents? My sister? My friends? My future? Any other trifle? I gave up and just stood there smiling like a village idiot.
I stood there watching it come out of the mist until it was fully risen and my eyes ached. Then I just put on my sunglasses and kept looking.

Having descended I watched the scenery finishing up the crap of coffee I had the misfortune to take with me. And I saw a stout and rather sad woman passing by and behaving as if it was something quite ordinary for her to meet a girl at 7am standing by the rail roads and having her morning cup of energy (or whatever she thought I was drinking).

As one can assume, I didn't take any decent pictures (I will see to it next times I go watching the dawn breaking) but I can share some of those I took with my camera-phone.

this is when I found out I had no card in my cam.

on top, it hasn't started yet

if you look northwardly

southward

IT HAS BEGUN!

the sun is up! yay!

i realised I could zoom in with my camera, take a snap, hold it and take a pic with my mobile. which I certainly did. :D

 You can notice a single standing tall building left of the sun. (It is also in the bottom left corner of the camera display) It is right next to my house, just across the road. I wish I had access to the roof. So that I didn't have to ride about 3 miles to this place and 4 miles back. I never take the same route for the return journey when cycling. It doesn't really suit the notion of a cycle (a repeated process) which I'm sure is supposed to go in circles.

On my way back I passed rather beautiful places with fog all over them! It was so strange to be seeing fog ahead and not noticing it when I actually entered it! I hoped it would be like cotton candy (only much softer) for me to reach out and touch it. But alas!

And one more thing :) I almost fell off the byke giggling cuz I lived a hundred of moments up to this line of Jason Mraz's I'm yours. But my breath fogged up the glass.
Fogged sunglass lenses totally obscured my poor vision to that extent that I had to slow down and take to the roadside in case there were any cars approaching. I had to breathe through the nose all the time, though I'm used to inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth while working out. I consider washing the sunglasses with this special liquid for scuba masks.

And something else. When I was headed for the outskirts the traffic was mostly moving in the opposite direction (i.e. to the center of the city, going to work) and when I was going back home most of the traffic also moved in the opposite direction (I assume they left something behind (at home) and had to rush back and then back to work again, funny isn't it?)

I want to go there again tomorrow. Only I wish the whole place didn't smell of lube and black oil so bloody much. I can stand even the rattling of locomotives. But not the horrible smell.
