Neptunbrunnen (Neptune Fountain)

We stumbled across Neptunbrunnen on our first day in Berlin. It was a dark, drizzly day but the fountain was an ignorant participant of the weather. And it was a dark fountain of the sea. Beneath Neptune, the reigning god of the sea, were men and babies in struggle and agitation. Drama, movement, action - but dark.

Good Morning Indianapolis!

There are so many benefits to rising early in the city. I spent an entire morning roaming the streets of downtown Indianapolis on foot. I got to watch the city wake up. People trickling in to work. Sleepy, empty streets. Lots of hands holding coffee cups. But the best sights are the shadows. And the sun filtering through all kinds of obstacles, creating all kinds of distracting light and color combinations.

Early morning is distrustful too. If you are not obviously heading to work, and are equally obviously not loitering, then you are out of place. And I was. What tourist meanders at 7:30am? Me. It keeps me alert.
