Ten Seconds Before Sunrise

On my way back home this summer, I saw something so beautiful that I regret not taking pictures of it. On the flight from Dallas to Frankfurt, when there were only a few hours away from landing, it was morning time. The sun was on the verge of rising. The sky was filled with shades of orange, red and hints of blue. The sun was slowly ascending above the horizon. It was actually at a stage where you could look at it without your eyes hurting. As the sun was rising, you could see the rays widening. There was this galvanizing aura surrounding the sun and the rays seemed to give off a mystical energy. The whole scene was just captivating. When one sees the sunrise, he goes into contemplation. Just thinking about how the Sun can be so destructive with its heat and UV rays, at the same time, it can be so peaceful and soothing to look at in the morning. There was also the sea of clouds in the sky. From the airplane window, it seemed like another world on top of the world we live in. This scene reminded me of the track “Ten Seconds Before Sunrise” by Tiesto. Now I realize what he was trying to portray with it.
