We are in the middle of an extreme heatwave here in Germany. Temperatures are reaching the high 90′s daily which is forcing my canine muse and I to head out earlier and earlier each day.
Being a lover of a good nights rest you would think I might find this disruption to my sleep inconvenient but honestly…I am grateful for the world that owning a dog has shown me.
I call it “Dog Hour”…those brief few minutes, in the early morning light before the sun’s intensity starts to be unbearable. All the dogs and their two legged companions leave the comfort of their beds and head in to the fields and forests.
Honestly I have gotten some truly amazing images in the 2 weeks we have been living this way. That beautiful golden morning light with it’s long shadows and finger like rays touching the yellowing fields.
The rest of the day may be a bit unbearable…but in those early morning and just as the sunsets…are pure magic.
