WalkMan~
nice descriptions of your morning walk and of the "energy of the city"...
i've always enjoyed walking at night, or in the very early morning. when i was a teenager, every night i used to take my dog (an alsatian) and go for midnight rambles that went on for miles, and arrive back home around 2 or so.
when i visit friends i often go off wandering in the evening, or get up before dawn and roam the neighbourhood.
at night, it's nice to walk through a neighbourhood you've never been to, and see the houses with their lights on and just absorb the atmosphere....
early morning is neat if you're visiting a strange city, because you can get up early and go for a ramble to check out what's happening, walk to a bagel shop or such, and, once again, pick up on the atmosphere.
of course, i've occasionally made friends a little concerned..
"What? You're going out for a walk after dark? You might get lost! People don't usually walk alone here at night!"
What can I say? Been walking around at night all my life.
