Unlike the other tourists, I headed out to see the city of York in the very early hours of the morning. I seriously enjoy seeing places in the early morning hours. There is something to be said about watching a town or village waking up.
Ponder the thought that every day, every hour for millions of years, we have formed a human wave around the planet by waking up in the morning.
I take part daily in that wave from my small, self-centered view of life. I cannot see the wave. It's not like our Stadium of Life is shaped like a bowl.
I walk the area during the day and nonpeak hours as much as possible when I visit a place. Seeing a place at least twice affords me the license to say I actually visited.
The scene is from Clifton Street facing South East. Time of Day 0728 and the sun rising (0732)
