Sunrise
The other day I climbed a mountain at night. Now I wanted to climb the mountain at dawn to see the sunrise.
I went out of the hotel at 4:40 and started to walk toward the mountaintop.

All blue before the sunrise

 |
|
Because of high latitude, the sun shows up 2 to 3 hours after the sky brightens up.

The temperature is -32°C
|
|
I am wearing a mask and goggles to protect against frostbite.
But I have to be very careful when I breathe because the breath can escape the mask and go up to the goggles and freeze on the lens.
Once it gets frozen, I have to put it inside to melt the ice and wipe up the water.
