Sunshine in Taipei

Sunshine in Taipei winter is as precious as a drop of water in the desert for me. Today after weeks of melancholic weather, Sun God showed some mercy on inhabitants of the city. It was as if the whole world was celebrating. My favourite spot of celebration on this sunny day was Daan Forrest park.

With my books, iPhone (for facebook and music), sunglasses and cup of coffee I headed to the park at 11:30am. I thoroughly enjoyed my day soaking in the Sun, walking up and down the park and settling in different spots of the park just like a photographer would do to catch Sun at different intensities and moods. I remembered most beautiful moments of my life and smiled all day. I watched hundreds of people, trees and birds do the same along my side. Every living thing was getting drunk sipping on the Sun potion today.

It was almost 4:45pm when Sun got softer and started to hide behind dense trees and tall buildings. It was cooler now and it was as if sounds of chirping crickets and playing kids were in some kind of intense competition. Taking cue from the colder temperature, I gathered my things, gave one last look on the golden gilded view of the evening and I walked back home.
