Sunrise Luang Prabang - Laos

This morning I woke up at 5.17 and walked through the empty streets of this gorgeous little town to climb the Phousi Mountain to watch the sunrise. As the sky became lighter, the mists began to rise and weave through the surrounding mountains like great white rivers. It was gorgeous.

At the top of the mountain is a golden stupa (monument to Buddha) and the floodlights attracted gazzillions of moths, some bigger than my hand. From the surrounding town far below, a symphony of roosters crowed to welcome the new day.


Eventually the sun lifted above the mountain and the world was full of golden light.


I hope your day is also filled with beautiful scenes, golden light and great peace!
