#Club100 || Sunrise at the top of Burni Telong

I can't say which one I love more between hiking or photography. In fact, I like those hobbies at the same time, like two sides of a coin. When I think about it, there's a kind of lucky feeling to know that I really like both things. And when the opportunity arose to climb, I felt like I had another bonus from God.

Basically I really like to travel, I like to go to many places, I like to see new things. And the mountain is one of the many things that excites me.

One of the many reasons I love mountains is that climbing is an adrenaline-pumping activity. And for some situations, the mountain is also the best place to contemplate, healing, and enjoy solitude. And in the same package, mountains never run out of beauty that spoils the eye.
If you pay attention to how the momentum of beauty works, you will agree that they never want to last long.

So it is very natural, if personally I am very grateful to Joseph Nicephore Niepce who took the initiative to create the camera about two centuries ago. Although when I try to empathize with Obscura's feelings I feel a little pity. I'm sure Obscura is very jealous of cameras right now.

”What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that's gone forever, impossible to reproduse.”
-Karl Lagerfeld

One of the most precious moments when climbing a mountain is the moment when you watch the sun rise from the top of the mountain. And that rare moment only lasted very briefly. So if you can be in that moment, I guarantee that there is no way you wouldn't feel very lucky.

But for those of you who haven't been at that point yet, I'd be happy to share those precious moments with you.

This moment was captured using the Vivo x5 pro cellphone camera at the peak of Mount Burni Telong. The most famous mountain peak in Aceh is in the Bener Meriah district.

When this moment was taken, I felt the fragrance of the happiness of the people at the top of the mountain as one blending with the roar of a very strong wind. But their mouths don't say much. Their enthusiasm is felt from the atmosphere, not the sound. I'm not sure you can see it from the photos. Even though I've tried my best, but there's always something that just a photo can't convey. But that's how photography is, I can't change it.

”A photograph is asecret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.”
-Diane Arbus
