Morning Frost

I love early mornings and it was a really nice morning today. It was pretty cold but also a clear sky. While walking across the heath I had to stop and take in the great view with the ground frost rising and creating a nice atmosphere when illuminated by the passing cars, street lights and the quarter moon. Looking up I could see a lot of stars and constelations. This was simply amazing in this moment and I wish I could have taken a picture to show all of this but think this picture works quite well and leaves some things to the interpretation.
These things might be small but we don't really take time to appreciate them, we keep rushing from one place to another and in the mornings just drive by in our cars or in the bus without stopping and looking around us. Early morning is the best time of the day for me because it feels like a different world out there.

When you wake up early you can find a different world out there, it is quiet, calm, people are nicer, more relaxed. There is no rush or the noise you have for the rest of the day. The streets look different, the light is great, you want to walk around, take it all in. Especially when the days get shorter and the temperatures lower the light and mood get better. I like travelling at this time of the day but am overall too lazy to get out that early on weekends but will need to do it and make a series of pictures in London.

At the same time the night can be fascinating, too, and present you with a different mood and atmosphere. Have a look at this set of pictures.
