Hiking Before Sunrise, When The City Is Asleep

By Melina Mehr | My cycling experiences | 12 Jan 2021


My friends tell me and others that you are crazy to go to the mountains at dawn, before sunrise.

I answer them that the mountain has many extraordinary attractions and you can experience a different manifestation of this beauty at any time of the day.

At dawn, when night still casts a veil of darkness over the universe, like the pleasant blanket of silence that pervades the world. When there are no people and a deep, pleasant silence is revealed, a unique attraction manifests itself.

At that time, you can only hear the sound of your breathing, the sound of your feet on the dry leaves, the dewy ground, and the rugged soil up the hill. The sound of nature can be heard from the heart of the jungle ahead.

You turn on the flashlight to see the front of your foot and do not fall into the pits or of edge a cliff or hit a tree.

A simple cane can make the job very easy. I wish I had one of those flashlights mounted on my forehead, then I could see the path without having to hold the mobile phone up all the way.

While climbing you might get tired a few times and sit on the ground. It feels getting slightly lighter. Then turning off the flashlight is in order but still, you can't see well. Maybe because your eyes are used to the bright light of the flashlight. Give your pupils a little time to adjust to the twilight.

One of the problems with the night hike is difficulty in taking good pictures. In the dark, you have to have a good camera or be a professional photographer to be able to take good photos.

Now, little by little, the shadows and the ups and downs are visible ... The morning has arrived and a new day is ahead.

If you set off too early, after 2 hours of walking, on the way back, it is still a bit dark, but not so much that you can not fly down the hill.

I know it is not just me having these feelings, but I’m definitely another nature lover looking for unanswered questions in an extraordinary manner as well. I cherish the pictures caught by my camera and the ones remained forever in my essence.
