Dawn in the big city

To know me is to know that I am NOT a morning person. Have never been, will never be. So it’s ironic that my favorite time of day in NYC is early morning. The city is relatively peaceful then – not much traffic, not many people out yet. Dawn in the city is also quite powerful – seeing the rising sun reflecting off the buildings makes me feel like the city is mine and my possibilities for the future are absolutely endless. No matter how cold it is outside, no matter how tired I am, there’s something wonderful about early morning cabs rides through the streets of Manhattan.
