Description
Why do we feel so excited about sunrises and sunsets? Why do we like them so much? Is it the mixture of vibrant colours? Is it because of the illuminated clouds? Why do we think they are so special? Is it the uniqueness we love so much? So many questions, even more thoughts about it. The time when the sun starts going down really fast, is one of my favourite moments in my journeys. When I notice my surroundings are covered in shade, and little to none of the sun is coming through tall buildings and trees, it means it's time to find a vantage point real quick. I always try to remember nice, tall and accessible buildings I visit on my path, but it doesn't help much, when they are located a few kilometres away from your current position, especially in a city you do not know. After, at least six hours of constant walking, I am a tad tired, but when this moment comes, I get extra shot of energy and the hunt for a great observation point begins. I am moving extremely fast, trying to spot the tallest nearby block of flats, with its stairwell windows situated in a direction of the vanishing yolk. First, I have to get past an entryphone, then check if the stairwell's windows open fully, lastly if everything is good, I can climb on the top floor and start the process of capturing. Unfortunately, most of the time there is something in my way... Missing window handle, closed door, blocked view, bad view, window does not open etc. So I rush from building to building, from stairwell to stairwell, in hope that I can make it before it's too late. I am not going to lie... I have lost many times... but I have also managed to be on time once or twice. Every sunrise and sunset is unique, just like the birth and the death... Maybe this is why we treat them with so many emotions, because they remind us, of our short lived existence...

Many kilometres from home, tired after the whole day of walking and looking, waiting on some stairwell with the window wide open... It was worth it :)
