Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

Where I went - Metro (tram) + walk + bus + walk + subway + metro

On the way to sunrise - which was hidden by horizon clouds

I really like the early morning lights mixed with a few cars, busses and trams

At the beach, though, there were clouds on the horizon masking the sunrise
