“Every day, a million miracles begin at sunrise.”
—Eric Jerome Dicky
Watching a new day unfold is one of the most hypnotic and magical experiences that we’ll ever know! Perhaps because watching the sky is something I love deeply, I’ve witnessed many such moments from the ground below, and also from 39000 feet up in the air.
I think watching a sunrise is a beautiful and inexplicable wonder of nature that one can never get enough of!
This week’s sky photo is from the time before the rainy season hit Bangalore-roughly, about two months ago.
I happened to be up rather early that day, as we had a morning flight to catch. It just so happened that one was at the right time and at the right place, while this gorgeous dawn was unfolding outside.
I had put the kettle on and casually walked into the living room, when I caught sight of the glowing ember in the eastern sky.
Instinctively, I picked my phone and took a few shots.
The tea brewed, and I watched the changing hues of dawn, until the ticking of the clock nudged me that I had to get back to finish my last minute packing before setting off for the airport.
It’s been a long time since I last watched the skyline but I guess I must get back to it sooner than later.
This image is a nudge for me to keep that time aside once more.
When I see this image, I think of the brush strokes of a landscape artist whose mastery over the medium is practically quite beyond our grasp!
Lately, a bout of weather-related allergy has been keeping me from waking up very early, but, I do miss the quietness of the unhurried mornings. I think the enchantment of those hours lie in their serenity. I’m beginning to miss that again I think!
That sense of peace and reset is totally priceless, don’t you think?
Ok, it’s time to sign off now —will be back next week again, with another sky picture and a story.
Until then, wishing you all a lovely weekend.
Love and positive vibes to everyone stopping by the blog today. If you are a sky lover like me, do share how and when you came to be one. I’d love to hear your story today!

No matter how many times I watch the sun rise, I never tire of it. I’m not a very morning person and given a chance I love to laze in bed. Despite that I am often up early and I do enjoy watching the sun rise. Hope you feel better soon Esha.
I’m not and can never be a morning person. That’s why I enjoy sunsets more 🙂
Your picture is an incentive for me to wake up early and watch the sunset while I write! Beautiful…
Those early morning moments where it is just you and your cup of tea and nature slowly waking up. Those are my best moments of the day.
Magnificent view.
So beautiful, not only the sky, but the light reflected off the water. Lovely photo!
