Shadows Know

Early morning sunlight falls along some warehouses in Bayside, chasing dawn away. There's not much happening down here this morning. I find Sunday mornings the best time to prowl unencumbered in many sections of the city. Here shadows and light match wits at least for a few hours. I've always said sleep past 7 AM most days, and you might as well call it a day. I was born at 6:50 in the morning, and no matter how I've tried, I just can't shake it. I can't sleep in, too much to get done. Some mornings just watching the sun rise is worth it. I'm an early morning guy and that's it. No excuses!

  2. Sunrises makes living worthwhile. I love light and shadow photos. I posted one recently which I love, but interestingly, few comments. I, too, am an early riser but sometimes feel a bit cursed by my inability to sleep just a wee bit longer. Great time for photos, tho.

  8. It's funny. I used to be a night owl, but as I get older I embrace the morning more and more and more.

  10. Glad I was born in the evening, so I can oversleep sometimes. I know what I am losing but, in winter, I really like my bed!
