A running friend of mine recently posted a run on Strava. Her run was okay, but what really struck me was the colours in one of her early morning photos from the run. Fortunately, she didn’t mind me using her photo as a reference (thanks Kerren).
Why I liked her photo was that it captured what another running acquaintance of mine describes as the ‘golden light’ of that time and place.
I love the way she always says it. She could be, like me, focusing on the pain of having just run up the hill, but instead she’s focusing on that moment and the beauty of the day. Just as I start to think it, “There’s that golden light again,” she’ll say.
