This shot already tells half the story with that glow of the burner.
But let me take you behind it.
It was my first time hiking through the forest in the dark.
I wanted to go early… way before the world is awake. After a week of grinding, noise, and deadlines chewing at my brain, silence is the best therapy there is.
But hiking through those woods before dawn?
Man, it’s no joke.
I swear someone was watching me from behind the trees. My flashlight feelt too weak, and every rustle sounded like some animal was about to eat me.
Still… wouldn’t change a thing.
Need it to get out.
I made myself a cup of coffee and sat there in silence. Could have sat there all day. But time was moving way to fast.
I packed up, hit the trail, and finished the loop… about 7 km of early morning magic.
Took some great shots along the way.
