Breakfast is great at 4:30 am, when you have all the makings from your local marketplace, and that includes freshly cut ham, farm fresh eggs, fresh fruit and coffee made in one of those screw-together hexagonal pots that make perfect coffee every time. The real reason it is so good is arriving at the places you want to photograph before anyone but the street sweepers are there. The sun was just coming up, but had not broken over the mountains yet.
These shots are from the very top of the hill town of Spoleto, where the fortress and the Duomo look over the entire valley. The second image taken from the Duomo steps, and shows one of the many flights of stairs one must navigate to live in a hilltown in Umbria. As I was leaving, the first of the tour busses discharged their passengers, so they could begin the arduous climb to the Duomo. In an hour or two the area will be packed with people.
