Last year I got to take my kids to New York for a few days. Our return flight was early one morning. I love this shot of my son – up way before his body clock would usually allow – taking in his last views of Manhattan before we departed. We were almost the only ones up…
Goodbye, New York.
Another crack-o’-dawn morning on the trip, my daughter and I walked out to the East River to watch the sun rise. That’s my daughter huddled on the side of the photo – it was colder than we had anticipated.
OK, we saw the sunrise, now let’s go back to bed.

Great images. The city must be really peaceful and strange at dawn.

And fresh. Everything feels fresh at dawn.

Oh I never thought of that – something that I have never experienced there. I have visited the city many times (I live in Jersey) but never at dawn. Maybe someday.

Now that you mention it I can see it would be harder to experience the dawn if you weren’t rolling out of bed to do it (from home or hotel). Fortunately, dawn is good everywhere.
