Before dawn...

Nyon - Vaud (Switzerland)

This is not the beginning of a summer night, which would be crowded with people, trying to recover from the day heat, walking with a beer or an ice-cream in their hands, like a peaceful but slightly disturbing buzzing swarm.


This is not the blue picture of a brand new night which has a full repertory of lights and sound to entertain all those who cannot feel asleep.


This is the leftover of an old night, worn out by the time.


The first cries of birds have already torn its velvety texture, but it’s still an intact time, trembling for the first lights of dawn...


And it’s only mine.

Girl, you sure get up early! Beautiful photo that captures the quiet before the day awakens everyone.

My favourite time of day, and you have captured it beautifully. ~V~

Wow, this really captures the cool, still essence of pre-dawn, a time that very few people see, a very special time of day for those who can make the effort to see it.

The blue of dusk and the warmth of newly born lights make this peaceful scene so charming.

Your use of the ight on the building to draw the viewer into the picture is wonder. The way the yellows and blues compliment is perfect. Well done, indeed. vote. Lee

Ah Marisa, do you really get up before dawn so often. I must admit from the photo that it looks like such a serene time to be with you thoughts ... and a camera.

A scene that many people will never see in the dull 9 to 5 of everyday bliss. But a calm & serene silence holds one in the midst that this is a special time, to reflect the night that has just past, before the morn awakens the bustle of everyday life, once again.....

You have captured this dawn blue light in a magical way. There is a calm and peace and silent serenity about the mood here. No jollity of eventime revellers. The boats are all asleep!

Superb peaceful shot from before dawn, I can just picture you sat on one of the boats with a glass of wine (or coffee) away from the buzz of town life.
