I met these two beautiful girls at 8.30 am, after a magical night and an even more magical sunrise.
I saw their vividly colored clothes from afar as they were sitting on the dragon. I approached them and asked if I can take a picture.

She wears a glove on her right hand because she had a stroke 15 years ago and she can't move it anymore.
