We awoke to a thick fog covering the morning here- it’s entirely peaceful and quiet here at first dawn. I like throwing open the large windows here decorated in white wrought iron and floor to ceiling panes. The workers had already begun their day when we were getting ready, charging our gear and assembling cameras for the day upstairs.
