I woke up early today. Drank a cup of coffee in the kitchen ...
... and drove to the supermarket at the edge of town.
While passing by the summer bungalows near the hotel called Belvedere ...
... I noticed the frost on the lawn ...
... so I decided to stop and take a few photographs.
The road under the pines looked like a dark, mysterious tunnel.
I walked across the empty parking lot ...
... to reach the grassy surface on which the frost was visible.
Minuscule crystals looked pretty cool in the gloomy atmosphere.
The trees and buildings were silent.
When the sky reflected in the glass of the bungalows started changing color ...
... I drove away.
This photograph was taken from the car. One hand was on the wheel while the other was busy shooting.

To photograph this recently finished apartment building, I stopped for a minute by the road.
Here I'm driving again. Driving and shooting ...
... while entering the pine tunnel.
When I finally reached the supermarket, the sun was higher in the sky.
High enough to change the atmosphere ...
... and create a bit of magic while reflecting from the metallic surfaces of the buildings in that boring suburban neighborhood.
After buying the fresh bread, some cat food, and a pack of beer, I took a few more photographs before entering the car.
A seagull was resting on the street lamp near the big store ...

... and a bit further, on the line of barren trees that grow in between the parking lot and the road ...
... I noticed this magpie.
Before entering my yard ...
... I stopped at the crossroad near my house ...
... to photograph my neighborhood, slightly distorted in the traffic mirror.
And that's it. A minute or two later, I was at home. As always in these posts on HIVE, the photographs are my work - THE END.
