One particular moment of the day which I've always liked is right before sunrise (when I can get out of bed that is, which is not so often). I find that most cities have a unique atmosphere at that time. Paris for instance puts on a very different face with workers delivering any kinds of good, bakers finishing their night shift, young ones coming out of a club and there a few better places than the back room of a small cafe in Pigalle to observe all this life.
I'm in MILANO for a couple of days for work and since I'm totally jet-lagged I got up very early this morning and went for a run in the empty streets. The fresh air of the night, the colours of sunrise and JUST LIKE HEAVEN in my headphones, this was really magical and a perfect start for the day. It almost makes me feel like getting out of bed everyday at dawn ... but I'm far too lazy for that !
