Impressions Of A Traveler
By Anton Winkler
The Early Bird Catches The Worm….
Can I ask you a question…?
Have you really ever experienced a dawn when sitting in an airplane?
The people who have experienced it, they can feel with me how beautiful it looks when the
sun is still hided and you can see the first light on the horizon.
Sometimes I have to believe that morning hours have a special reward for us, when flying on
a nice, clear January morning.
- As the Germans say: “MORGENSTUND HAT GOLD IM MOUND”.
You really get rewarded when seeing the beauty of the nature. When you have on one side of
the horizon still the sleeping and dark world and on the other side the new day is showing
his first signs with a shiny orange color, which looks like a painting.
You get in that moment really impressed of the beauty of nature, which we sometimes don’t
respect and protect very much. I think the people who have seen this bright and shiny
spectacle really know what I’m talking about and they really do care about our nature and
our environment where we live.
I wonder myself ….if we damage more and more our nature … does our kids and maybe their kids
will have the luck to see these images of beauty as we do?
That you can see in the little up-coming light, the clouds which are partially covering the
valleys like sweat white cream. The hill tips just looking out like dark pencil tips.
Everything else you see is left to your entire imagination.
Then suddenly the horizon is getting lighter and lighter and all the magic slowly disappears
in front of your eyes and you just feel your were dreaming and waking up from a nice dream,
and the world suddenly is converting in the daily, sometimes ugly grey color which covers
like dirty spots the surface and we know we are back in our daily life again.
But these mystical magic impressions we have seen like a vision movie, even for a relatively
short moment, nobody can take away from us, and you ask yourself is it a dream or an
ilusion?
This will be our small secret, which gives us the satisfaction and a little reward for
waking up early this day.
These are the little things that make travel regardless all the security measures still
exciting and rewarding and fills you up with new energy to start your new day.
