It's a chilly morning despite the heat being so high during the day. Most people have trouble sleeping at night because of the very hot temperature. Well, it’s expected during the summer season.

I woke up early as always. It’s still quiet, I could even hear the sound of the hot water being poured in the cup. Obviously, that hot water was for my coffee. Wanted to be heated inside but at the same time I would love to feel energy circulating in every sip of my coffee.

Today is Sunday and I had no plans to open the store early in the morning. I thought, once a week I should enjoy the morning outside. The views and maybe the wonderful activities and happenings of people.

I sat on a small bridge over the small river. I faced the long and wide exposure of the rice fields. With a deeper look, a mountain view from a far was visible. Hmmm, not just the coffee that refreshed my soul but the surroundings that surrounded me. It’s sweet, I could smell the scent of the wind. Indeed, life is so much better if you’re in a peaceful and relaxing place.

Let’s not forget the people around during this early time in the morning. That makes photography will be interesting outdoors. Different activities of people and obviously, different facial expressions as well.

I saw an old woman who experienced a mild stroke long ago. She walked every morning to exercise herself, perhaps, to be back to normal is what she was hoping always. Well, that’s normal how we cling to life when we have a wonderful family and of course, a happy life.

At this early hour, you can't always see youngsters waking up and even walking in the street. This girl, when I was walking towards the rice fields, I encountered her and asked me if I had opened the store already. I’ve been selling wholesales but only for selected items only. I replied, “not yet” obviously, but still she didn’t believe me and continued walking towards the store. She’s lucky that my wife was there already and she managed to buy something.

I really enjoyed being outside. I was at first alone there but time passed unnoticed. There were two old dudes sitting in front of me. The time got more lively as we exchanged words and laughter as well. It filled me up. There were no lonely thoughts because I enjoyed my time being outside. This is the kind of Sunday I was always hoping for. Calm but enjoyable. Thanks to my camera I stored the emotions of what I had felt in photographs.
