As much as I am vehemently not a morning person, there is something magical about going for a walk in the dark and cold in winter. I'm weirdly resentful of the transition to spring when mornings are that little bit lighter, and a little bit less cold.

It's been overcast and raining in Perth for weeks, and over the weekend we had a gloriously sunny day. So sunny that when I left the house to run errands I was bamboozled by all the light, it felt like I'd fallen through a wormhole into a different universe. "WHY IS IT SO BRIGHT??" I screeched to my BFF when we met up for lunch. She also found it to be utterly unacceptable, and yearned for the dark and the cold again.

"I quite like walking around in the dark and the cold" and any such comment of course requires a 'call that cold" from Melbourne. But I agree, some of my most treasured images of cityscapes are those taken in the cold bare middle of winter.
