At the beginning of the 24th of June, a group of mountaineers climbed the eastern-most peak of the Shar mountains - Ljuboten (2498 meters asl) to see the sun rise on the top of it.

It was a wonderful experience to see and feel all the drama that the sunrise created, the surrounding nature, the landscapes and the fresh sun rays.
Oh and actually I'm fully aware that the sun does not rise, nor does it set.
