sunrise at bow lake

sunrise is my favourite time of the day. The stillness and the quiet. the peace. The light…

morning light is one of my favourites. Before the sun comes over the horizon and the light is just starting to illuminate the darkness. I never regret missing out on sleep to catch a sunrise. It’s always worth it.

Our first ever sunrises together were in jasper - one of which was at bow lake where we brewed fresh coffee to keep warm in the chilly rocky mountain morning. I’ll never forget that.

since then we have made something of a ritual out of our sunrises. quiet drives in the darkness as it turns to light. always packing our primus stove to brew fresh coffee and ideally a bottle of liquer to spike it with. We relax, and take photos slowly. both of us barely ever daring to break that morning silence with even a whisper.

Yes, sunrises are my favourite.
