I was down at the seafront by seven this morning. There was hardly anyone around to get in the way of my photos. The sun was also above the bay, unlike yesterday’s pictures when it was behind the town.

By lunchtime there will be hundreds of people walking around in this photo, now, there is hardly anyone.

Taking the above photo with no one in it would be impossible by nine in the morning. Sometimes, you need to get up early to get a photo. Also, the light is better early in the day, much better than lunch time when it is at its highest and brightest.
