Start Your Day With Calmness
I thought I'd start this week with a featured image for the week.
I took this shot of a peaceful sunrise over the beach in Umhlanga.
The photo was captured at the Umhlanga Pier. To me, it was a quiet reminder to slow down and take in the beauty around us which we so often take for granted. The gentle waves, soft light, and open sky made me feel calm and brought clarity to my mind.
This photo is also available as wall art in my Redbubble store. You'll find a link to my store below this post.
I just didn't want to leave the beach and I actually wished that time could stand still for a while.
I'll end this post with the two photos below.
I supported myself on a big rock, almost laying down flat across the rock, with the surf softly and gently rolling out onto the beach below me.
While I heard the soft sound of the seawater rolling out onto the beach, the sky displayed the most beautiful colours while the sun was slowly rising on the horizon.
And that's it for today, folks.
Thank you for reading my post! I do appreciate it!
While I am using Hive as my blogging platform, I am also doing regular updates on my website and will announce new blogposts from there.

I can imagine! If it's a 2-hour drive, I can imagine it's going to be quite a walk 😂
But I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your early morning walks with your dog! You must have a great day too, @benthomaswwd!!

Sounds like a good day.
Beautiful photos.
Thank you for the reminder to stop and admire the beauty around us. Although I will surely do so with such lovely views like the ones you shared. 😆 Guess I will need to find the beauty around me instead. 😅 Have a fantastic week ahead!
