The Petersburg Tower, also taken from our balcony, is a peaceful way to say goodnight...

Then the morning view from our balcony is marvelous. This early morning photo with the sun touching the red roof tops reminds me of a childhood song:

Good Morning Merry Sunshine

how did you wake so soon

You scared away the little stars

and freightened away the moon.

I saw you go to bed last night

before I said my prayers

Oh where have you been hiding

and why did you go there?

I went to see the children

the children of the East

for they were waiting there for me

to rise them from their sleep.

And when they said goodnight to me

I came to you at dawn

I always love the morning hours

for they bring joy and song.
