Thoughtful writing and the art of paying attention.

Chasing the Orange Glow

I was at the foot of Mount Takasu and Mount Kinka this morning.

I arrived around 5 a.m.

The sun was already rising by the time I reached the top of Mount Takasu.

I launched my drone.

But I was just slightly too late to capture that deep orange glow before sunrise.

Still, I captured some beautiful footage.

Or so I thought.

Later, while reviewing everything, I accidentally deleted the best clips.

Annoying.

A completely avoidable mistake.

Now all I have left is the screen recording from my remote controller.

Honestly, not exactly something worth showing.

But strangely enough, I am not too disappointed.

Because it already gave me a reason to return.

Next time, I will leave even earlier.

And hopefully catch that quiet orange glow before sunrise properly.
