Captured during the quiet, ethereal moments just before sunrise along the Camí de Ronda in Llansà, this photograph explores the transformative power of early morning light. The photographer, a regular walker of these coastal paths, sought to document the pure magic that precedes the sun's emergence. By focusing on the subtle atmosphere rather than the direct light of the sunrise, the image evokes a sense of profound serenity. Its award-worthy quality lies in the photographer's ability to translate a fleeting, personal experience of coastal tranquility into a visual narrative that resonates with the viewer's own appreciation for nature's quietest hours.

When I was seven, my grandfather would wake me before the sun touched the roof of our house in Enugu. We walked to the edge of the village in the dark, the air tasting of damp earth and cooling stone. He never spoke during these walks.
