Morning




Morning.
Lazy. Undisturbed. Quiet.
Streetlights still lit
until at sharp six
they are gone.
The sun in the horizon
as if it has
one foot in the water and one in the sky
lighting up the world
one reddish gold streak at a time.
The stillness of the morning
broken as we walk
marketwards.
Pigeons fly in circles.
The night shift go home.
The boats roll
into the harbor
fish-filled and smiling men.
Bustling. Noise-filled. Productive.
Morning.

I'm not sure how I got here, but I enjoyed my visit and your photos. Very nice spot to sit and watch the crowd.

It's nice to see how your day begins. I love heading over to Half Moon Bay, about 15 miles from my house, to see the fisherman arrive with their boats full of an early morning catch.
