the sun rising over Rome at 7:48am

…viewed from my East facing studio window is something I anticipate every morning during the approximate two and a half hours from the time I am rising at around  5:00 and the time that the lazy late Roman sun starts getting up – during which I might have completed coffee infusion by 5:20, news surfing 5:30, and then decent into email while waiting for some light to go out and play.
