The Little Mermaid at Sunrise

I arrived in Copenhagen after sunset, and was flying out by noon time, so I set my alarm for 5:30 to go for a morning walk. I'm not a morning person at all, so this was dedication to photography that got me out of bed so early. I squatted way down low, shot up to get the clouds behind her as much as possible.

Thus ends my whirlwind travel of 7 countries (4 continents) in 7 weeks.

That really is a whirlwind of travel. You must be exhausted. This is definitely worth getting out of bed for. (I am not a morning person either. I do not think I have even one sunrise picture). fav.
