As I a photographer, one of the things I dread are sunrise shoots. Trust me, I'm the kind of person that if hibernating was a thing humans did, I'd be the first to do so and the last one to wake up. Sunrises happen at such an ungodly hour for me that most of the time, I pass on the opportunity.
Lake Seloton and its sunrise is an exception.
Lake Seloton and its sunrise is an exception.
Ripples of water creating creases upon the mirror-like sheen of the water as a small dugout canoe drifts across paddled by a friendly face, a barely there sun playing hide and seek with the misty mountains, the earthy scent of morning-dew soaked rice fields, trees swaying in the cold yet gentle morning breeze, splashes of water no doubt coming from the Tilapia inside the fish pens - these are the sights, sounds and smells that greeted me as I made my way to the lake edge, giddy with anticipation for Seloton's magical sunrise.
Trust me when I say that the place is magical. Visiting and shooting Lake Seloton's glorious sunrise somehow left me feeling rejuvenated. If you need to recharge and get away from the mad machinery of the city, this is a great place to do so.
Next time I visit, you can be sure that I've already set my alarm for 4am.
