As the morning sun rises, the blanket of mist covering the rice fields start to cast away and the ground below a sky of dark blue is covered with golden rays of sunshine.  As the clock ticks away the remaining minutes of night time, a sky of tainted with amber is slowly revealed. It's rays pushing through the thicket of leaves waking the ground below. And with it comes the chirping of the birds, the blossoming of lilies and the indescribable beauty of morning.
