#153 Sunrise in Born

I tried a vertical panorama this time. Stacked 6 images vertically, and this is what came out of it. You won’t see all the details here because I had to resize the image, but on a big screen it really…

Sunrise on the Kollenberg.

I don’t really remember where I took this photo. All I remember is the silhouette… and that soft, orange morning glow. Sometimes that’s all that sticks. Not the place. Not the details. Just the feeling.

There are days when I don’t feel like doing anything. But then I push myself — and about 97% of the time, I’m glad I dragged my butt off the couch and went out for a ride. This time it…

What you’re looking at is a shot of the basilica in Sittard, taken at sunrise. One morning I woke up to this. Stepped onto the balcony and was greeted by some of the most beautiful light I’ve seen in a…
