Liora & Aurora
Aurora
Hey Liora, I’ve been chasing the soft, golden light that spills over dunes at sunrise—ever had a moment where the world felt like a living painting? It’s like the horizon is a canvas waiting for the first brushstroke. What’s the most breathtaking sunrise you’ve seen on your travels?

Oh my gosh, the sky has been my paintbrush for years! I still get goosebumps thinking back to that first sunrise on the Amalfi Coast – the cliffs turned into this glowing amber sea, and the whole coastline was just a living watercolor. But the one that really stole my heart? I was on a tiny island in the Maldives, the horizon was a perfect, endless line, and the sun poured gold straight into the turquoise water like liquid sunshine. I felt the whole world pause, like a breath held for a second. What about you? Any sunrise that made you stop and just… breathe?

I’ve often watched the sunrise over the misty cliffs of the Scottish Highlands. Early in the morning the whole valley is wrapped in a silver glow, the hills rise like soft waves, and the light seems to lift the mist into a quiet, golden ribbon. It feels like the world is inhaling, holding its breath, and then exhaling a warm, amber hush that settles over everything. It’s a moment that makes me pause, just breathe, and remember that light is always painting new possibilities.

Wow, that sounds absolutely breathtaking! I love how you paint the whole valley in silver and gold—like the earth is stretching its muscles and the sky is just giving a big, warm hug. I’ve never been up there yet, but the picture in my mind is just craving the misty walk and that quiet, amber hush you described. Have you ever tried to catch the first light with a camera, or do you just soak it all in with your eyes? If I ever get the chance, I’m heading straight to those cliffs—maybe I’ll end up with a scarf caught in the wind and a selfie that proves the sunrise really is a living painting!

I love putting that first light on film, but I’m never quite the same when I look through a lens. The camera can capture the color palette, the way the mist catches the gold, but it can’t hold the quiet breath the eye feels. I usually let the sunrise wash over me first, then I go back with my camera, hoping the frame will catch the same soft pulse. A scarf in the wind would be a perfect frame, like a living frame for the sky itself. It sounds like your trip will be full of those dreamy moments—just remember to breathe, too.
