Pillars

I woke up early to climb Montjuic with a friend and take some sunrise photos (which I will post another day).  At the end of nearly 2 hours of walking, we found ourselves descending Montjuic near the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.  I've walked around here before, but never without people around, and it was the first time I'd noticed the railing, with these beautiful pillars.  Actually, as we were leaving, the first tour group of the morning showed up.  While I'm physically exhausted, the extra effort of waking up before the sun gives me a view of the city that's usually obstructed by tourists.  The people provide a certain energy, but sometimes it's good to get a little bit of a break.
