I didn't want a morning in Juneau to go to waste. That and the fact that I'm staying in a friend's empty apartment and for once have that lovely quiet alone time in the morning all to myself!
The apartment has a great view, being on a hill overlooking downtown Juneau and the water below. You can see the hilly islands and snow covered trees on the mountains. A dense foggy mist was hanging over the mountains.
This is the kind of morning I wish I could have every morning. A chance to take in some beauty and just be still and quiet for a little while. I went for a walk downtown. It's so nice here, I wore a light sweater-like jacket. The streets were silent. The historic looking shops and buildings were all closed. It was as if I had the town to myself. The misty rain made the setting all the more mysterious. I finally settled down in a coffee shop at the window, waiting for the sleepy world to wake up.
It was, all in all, a nice morning.
