Sun Rise

I Made it Earlier than the Sun in Yangshuo (้˜ณๆœ”) - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Yangshuo (้˜ณๆœ”) in China has long been on my list to travel to.  There's an ancient saying in Chinese that the landscape in Guilin (ๆก‚ๆž—) tops the world, and that of Yangshuo (้˜ณๆœ”) is the best in Guilin (ๆก‚ๆž—) (i.e., "ๆก‚ๆž—ๅฑฑๆฐด็”ฒๅคฉไธ‹๏ผŒ้˜ณๆœ”ๅฑฑๆฐด็”ฒๆก‚ๆž—" in Chinese).  Its rolling hills, especially hidden in a thin layer of mist, is mesmerizing to me.  You know I'm not an early riser.  But my behavior changes when traveling.  For one, I get up early to "beat the tourists" (see here as well).  And when traveling to a place like Yangshuo (้˜ณๆœ”), it's worth sacrificing every bit of comfort.  In this case, it means rolling out of bed and climbing up the mountain in darkness, with heavy gear, to catch the first breath of the sun.  And then wait to meet His Majesty.   

For a short window of time, we were rewarded with this spectacular sun rise.  Don't you love the play of light and the shades of colors?

BTW, according to the locals, we were the lucky ones - it had been raining in previous days and will rain again the next day.  So to see the sun, in these dreamy clouds, is photographer's-dream-come-true.  Of course, someone once said that the mighty power up there likes good people. :-)

P.S. It goes without saying that you can contact me if you'd like this beautiful piece of art to be decorating your living room, dining room, or bedroom. :-)
