As anybody close to me knows, I’m not a morning person and most definitely on the weekends. So when I decided one cold day to get up early and get downtown before the sunrise to take pictures on a Saturday morning, I thought there might be something wrong with me.

Has it turned out, leaving the warm sheets was worth the trip. There is not much to say about the photographs other than the light was glorious and the streets were mostly deserted. I liked it so much that, dare I say, I’ll be getting out of bed many times again this year.

All photographs shot on Canon Rebel xsi.
