Travel Diary: Mountain View // Day - Sunset - Night

in travel •  8 years ago  (edited)

I always had this dream of falling asleep and waking up on a cozy cloud with a view over the world and I have to say right now in this moment I am closest to that feeling. 

As I'm sitting on my hotel's comfy bed, writing this blogpost, I look up and I see the most stunning sunset over Barcelona from on top of the 

TIBIDABO  MOUNTAIN

I've said this multiple times and the last few days have proven to me once again, that our environment matters and that our surrounding effects us, the way we work, the way we feel and our overall state of living and breathing. 

We know humans are part of nature, and yet we accept that we've been "separated at birth" from nature. Our lives feel busy, we suffer from a common disease known as stress and sometimes spend months, or even years disconnected from the real world, nature.

The strong difference between being in the city and being on a mountain I felt right on my chest, as a sense of relief rushed through my body when we arrived. In general I cannot stress enough how important it is to rejuvenate and constantly reconnect with our origin. 

The moon already looked pretty decent from the city, at least that's what I thought and displayed in my last Barcelona travel post.

But the view in comparison to the view from one of our rooms on the mountain...

During the Day..

Sunset..

And at Night...

I don't know what it is about this mountain, but every day we were here and even the last time in Barcelona there was a full moon. On a foggy day, like it was yesterday the clouds over the city take on the most beautiful colors during sunset and the moon shines brighter than usual. 

With this view you can feel serenity being a whole lot closer to you.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of  my travel diary edition about "Steemian Adventures in Barcelona". 

PS: This would be my proposal for the Steemfest 3 location: The TRIBIDABO Mountain of Barcelona, because it's a lot more fascinating in person and I would love for everyone to experience the magic here for themselves

Sweet Dreams!

Everytime I read one of your posts I feel like it's a business/fashion/lifestyle magazine blog!

That's funny, never thought about my blog that way. Thanks :D

Great post showing the beauty of nature! You're so right that we get caught up in our lives and forget about the little things. We get consumed by the daily workload that we forget to lift our head up and explore the world. We take for granted the beauty around us and become engulfed in the busyness of life. Whenever I explore nature, I feel like I've been reborn again. It's so relaxing and meditating. You forget all of the problems of life and just appreciate that moment. Thank you for sharing this beautiful scenery and I look forward to more to come :)

Thank you for elaborating on the beauty of nature. I have nothing to add :)

Looks magical! I haven't visited Barcelona in years but would be so down to re-experience the magic for Steemfest 3 ;) <3 Thanks for sharing, beauty.

Nice post @mrs.steemit :)
Beautiful shots! I would love to go to Barcelona.
I love seeing shots of you guys together. You guys always look so stylish and cool .

I am slowing getting my acro friends on Steemit ;)

Thanks! Appreciate it. I think the best way to onboard your friends is by showing them what you do and how it works for you. A personal study case is always the best. Good luck :)

Most definitely. People need to see it in action to believe it :)

beautiful! great post!

Thank you!

I support your vote for Barcelona as the location of Steemfest 3!

Nothing like watching a sunset to relax you from all life throws at you.

The sunset looked like a heart, before it sunk down into the horizon, cool.

So cute, please follow and vote me

This is so true. This illusion of always being busy stripes us from enjoying the present moment. It's such a challenge trying to feel that in the middle of the city

its amazing..

Stonning photos, interesting post, thanks for sharing :) #keepsteemin

Sweet. nice story

You beatiful 😄

Looks like a really relaxing place. :)

@mrs.steemit - You say such profound things in such simple words. "Sometimes we focus on what we want rather than what we need" is exactly right. I have personal experience of getting into a rut of being a 'successful executive' and forgot to enjoy small joys in life like sunsets and sunrises. Your sunset and moon picture are very nice and their beauty is enhanced by your presence in the frame in some of them .

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and lovely pictures.

I went on am early morning photography and bird outing yesterday to shake off my Monday blues. Have written a blog with collages of some nice birds (made with my original photos). I request you to take a look and let me know your views. Your comments will be eagerly awaited. Thanks

Love these photos and the sunset ones <3 thanks for showing me these.

Beautiful! This looks like a great place to go!:) Please check my little journey тhe trip that I made soon. I hope you enjoy my photos. @nakedchef89

beautiful place

wonderful ! sunset and night view but i like so much sunset view.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That is a beautiful office spot indeed!
I don't spend much time in hotels at all as I live a life of sustainability but that is truly a beautiful scene.
I know exactly what you mean about how it feels to be alive in different environments. That is why I have chosen to live a life immersed in nature in an eco village! I get to breathe the fresh air all day every day, get sun on a regular basis, hear the birds and bugs every day, walk barefoot on the grass and soil.
It is not only good for health but mental clarity and focus as well.
Live it up and SteemON!

Looks like an awesome travel spot, love the sunset pics!

Gorgeous place! I can't wait to see Spain, and especially that magnificent Bosch painting.
