Shadows at Dawn: Don’t let clouds ruin your day!

Sometimes, your morning starts off like a perfect horror movie setup: you’re driving out to Kowen Forest in the pitch-black hours, a “NoSleep” podcast crackling through your speakers, and you half-expect a shadowy figure to leap from behind a tree. That was me today. The plan was simple—get up at 4 a.m., run through the forest, snap some epic starry-sky photos, and then bask in the glorious sunrise. But the moment I stepped out of the car, there it was: nothing but clouds overhead, not a single star in sight.
