after all these years

    'The early bird catches the worm...' - as it appears very true for capturing the most stunning light... photographically speaking my new favourite time of day, as far as the early rise goes - not quite so pleasant.
    This was shot early Sunday morning about half a mile from the office where I work in Wallingford, UK. The bowler hat chap was sourced off an image library site - istock.com

      If only my walk to work was so scenic. I can imagine the poor chap lamenting the fact that he's about to get on a train to go into some cramped, dark, urban center.
