Medan Journal (Day 4) : Sunrise

Watching the Sunrise

Naimah woke me up at 5AM. We talked about watching the sunrise the next morning but I didn't know she was that determined! Haha! Good for her (and me, of course). 

We readied ourselves (the sun will rise in about an hour's time) and daddy knocked on our door around 5.45AM. Great, another sunrise-watching enthusiast. Haha!

We performed the Fajr prayer and left the room for the lakeside.

The sun will rise very soon.

Waiting for Sunrise 

The scenery was breathtaking. Few people were already up and had started doing their jobs. The lake was serene and tranquil. 

Flocks of birds flown magnificently across the sky.

A fisherman was already in the middle of the lake, rowing his boat alone in the vast lake. The sky was a shade of beautiful colours - grey and pink to rightside of the sky, near the Barisan Hill.

To the leftside of the sky were layers of illuminated clouds, covering the emerging sun. Their effort availed them nothing.

The Glorious Golden Hours

The sun quickly turned brighter around 6.20AM. By 6.31AM, the sun was shining so brightly that it blinds the eye. I personally thought the phenomenon was really strange. Maybe I should spend more time by the beach to watch the sunrise or maybe the sun rose a little differently here, seeing as were in a middle of a mountain range. 

Anyone wanted to share their thoughts?
