This photograph was captured at the start of my hike up to the top of my property at 5:27:56 AM on July 3, 2021 on the path overlooking the fen directly beside my house. It was so quiet.

No bird songs. The air was so still, like a moment frozen in time.

The world was quiet. Inside and out.

All I could do was simply stand there and be one in this moment. I had almost forgotten that I even had my camera with me.

I had to title this piece 5:27:56AM because I really felt that this very moment was not only captured in this photo, but that it deeply captured me.

I am in this scene, but unseen.

As I stood there staring at this scene, everything stood still. Quiet, at peace and at rest.
