Once again we went for one of those before morning hikes, exactly two hours before sunrise.

The night was cold, and the dew had soaked the yellow, withered leaves that had fallen to the ground.

So, because of this, it was difficult to walk on the ground, and hiking was accompanied by constant slipping and trembling steps. Fortunately, one of my good friends lent me his cane.

It was a beautiful mountain, indeed and, as always, we climbed the famous hills at the rooftop of our city, which are known as the "Three Hills".

At the top of the third hill, when we arrived, the sun was slowly rising and the light was shining on the city.

The bodies of the trees in the dripping light of the sun resembled the shady black shadows that dominated the sky.

I wanted to leave these pictures for you.

This is a rescued dog that one of the climbers brought with him and she was very close to me. My other friend did not like dogs, always trying to keep her distance. You may not know this, but Muslims consider dogs unclean (The right word is Najes) and think that anyone who touches or be in contact with a dog should wash him/her body.

I, however, don’t accept such ridiculous opinions. This does not mean that I am not a Muslim or that I do not have beliefs myself (It doesn’t mean I do either). But I know very well that these majestic and faithful creatures can never be impure.
