Taken on a morning when my youngest son Liam (2 yrs) woke me up at 4:23 am…

I figured I may as well get up and go for a walk with the camera before heading to work. I had seen this guy perched here many time before during the day so I figured I’d go have a look. He wasn’t there, but after 10 minutes he kindly made an appearance. This also happened to be the only time this day when the light was decent. Thanks for getting me up Liam.

Taken near the University de Neuchâtel.
