I originally wanted to take a photo of the sunrise the next day, but I turned in the wrong direction. I had to go to the other side of the mountain to see it, so I didn’t take any photos. And I forgot to bring the memory card, so the video was not taken, and the quality of the aerial photos was terrible, which is a pity.
