The story behind the image
I love to run in the early morning and enjoy the peace, the silence and the (often) incredible mood!
Bellaria-Igea Marina is a lovely town situated close to Rimini at the Adriatic Coast. Nothing beats an early morning run along the Lungomare (beach promenade) while gazing at the sea and breathing the mild, fresh air. On my track I encountered this beautiful scene, a few minutes after sunrise.
The clouds where illuminated by the rising sun (from behind the horizon), creating a dramatic and colorful image. The lady in the front created a beautiful contrast, silhouette-style.
It’s well worth the tag #iwishiwasherenow
