The story behind the image

There’s something special about sunrises. Almost everyone loves them.

But why?

I think it’s a sign of hope. The sun will wipe away the dark and cold night and give way to a bright and warm day. The new day also means a fresh beginning, the start with an empty page as noone knows what’s going to happen. After all, this day could turn around your life entirely.

What amazes me is the speed of a sunrise. While it seems to take ages for the sky behind the horizon to develop a glowing red – once the thin line of the sun appears, it just takes just a few minutes for the sun to show up completely (depending on your location.) Then the magic is still there, but as soon as it gets brighter, and the sky will lose its orange and red glow.

The challenge remains to find scenes that add some context, for example, by showing people or surroundings.
