Most of your life you see the city in the same light: full of people, full of cars, full of noise. When I was at the University, several long nights finishing projects showed me there was a completely different side of the city most people never see: the one that comes out only at sunrise, and lasts only for about an hour.
What's there to see at sunrise? Nothing. The city alone. Deserted. No people, no cars, no noise. It's like you're the only one there, you and maybe a couple of people waiting for the bus or walking to the shift change.
And the most interesting part is, the city becomes your playground. You can park anywhere, explore the view from the middle of the street, stop at a green light to take a look at something... and nobody's there to care about it.
Yesterday I canned my urge to go out at night, and today at 4:30 AM I was out walking the streets. 4:30 AM, downtown, on a Sunday. And not a soul to be seen. I'm still looking over the photos and adjusting stuff, hoping to have the set up on Flickr by the end of this week.
Que buena esa foto, cuesta muchísimo ver San José de esa manera, lo digo yo que paso todos los días por esa calle, demasiado rajado. Saludos!!
