PU CHI FA: Golden sunrise in a sea of mist

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children” 

 

While I was standing on the summit of Phu Chi fa waiting for the sun to rise, I could not help looking at this amazingly beautiful planet and it pained me immensely to think about the rate at which we are destroying it. It felt surreal to stand so close to a mist of floating clouds and watch the beautiful sun turn the earth into shades of orange with her gold droplets.

 

This beautiful hill station is located in northern Thailand near the border of Laos. I was told that it is still considered an undiscovered place so I was super excited but when I climbed the summit at 5.30 am, there were so many people there. It is a popular destination amongst locals and I saw some foreign visitors too so I would not really call this destination unexplored but that should not be a big concern if you really want to visit. It is easy to get there by car from Chiang Rai, I stayed there overnight to ensure I was on time for the sunrise. Standing and watching the sunrise over the misty mountain was such a surreal experience, it was one of the most glorious displays of nature I have witnessed. My pictures can never do justice to what I witnessed with my own eyes.

We do not own this planet . We were created by it , and now we are busy destroying it's life creating ecosystems  .

Time to wake up ...

We need different and better values in life , not only money and ' power ' .

This planet is not tolerating our destructive behavior any more .

Everything is connected , every action provokes an reaction .

Mankind ... an ' error ' of evolution ?

 

The dinosaurs with their small brains survived 50 million years on this planet .

The era of mankind will last how long ?

The first human ancestors appeared about 100.000 years ago .

If it goes on like this , there will only be a few years left for mankind , before our species disappears forever .

stopped reading when hit this statement

Right from the stone age human behaviour has been disgusting. If pollution doesn't kill us off the current birthrate will. So be it.
