When I reached the 25th floor, it was only 6.55am and I was greeted by the moon over the direction of Lower Pierce Reserviour. I took a few shots of the moon hanging low in the sky then went to East facing direction to station myself and waited for the sun to rise.
Around 7.10am, I could see a tint of faint red-glow in the sky but there were thick black clouds blocking the sun. My hope of capturing the first sunrise at the dawn of this decade was shattered by the thick black cloud! I remained at the spot until 7.30am before packing up my gear and headed home.
When I got to the bottom of the block, I saw a beautiful pair of eyes staring at me! I quickly took my camera and took a few pictures of the beautiful cat resting below the block before heading back.
Instead of boarding the lift to six floors as I always do, I took the lift all the way up to 11th floor hoping to see the Oriental Buzzard I photographed in November 2009. As though heaven felt pity on me and to compensate for my shattered dream to photograph the sunrise, I spotted the Oriental Buzzard sitting majestically on the branch of a tree. I quickly took out my camera again and triggered of a few shots before the majestic bird flew away!
As depicted in my morning event, in life we may not have everything according to plan, but it is important to make the best of the given situation and sometimes miracles still happens! Well, this is how I spent my first morning of the New Year. Happy 2010 to everyone!
