The problem is that we are always looking for something special, something extraordinary. We forget that our ordinary, everyday life is the real teaching." -Chogyam Trungpa Have a wonderful day folks, maybe you’ll find the magic in the everyday? #Sunrise #Photography #Bluesky #sunrisephotography

Septembermorgen... im Nebel ruhet noch die Welt, noch träumen Wald und Wiesen. Bald siehst du, wenn der Schleier fällt, den blauen Himmel unverstellt... Herbstkräftig die gedämpfte Welt in warmem Golde fließen . Eduard Mörike
