Urbane

Living in a highrise on the 15th floor, we have quite a spectacular view of the city. I am not much of a city person, nor one for living in highrisers, but it does have it´s charms.

From each room in our home we have views of the city. This gives us the ability to see three quarters of the way around Urban Maracaibo.

If you look out from the back of our home you will see the city center. To the side, through each bedroom you will see the industrial zone, and to the front you will see the metropolitan district and Lake Maracaibo. Living at this altitude permits us to see much of the goings on around the city.

Cities are interesting places, quite different from the softer corners of suburban or country life. You would not believe some of the things we have seen from up here in our little nest.

But I digress.....

Though I am not an earlybird (meaning I don´t wake up at five or six in the morning, much as I´d like too, but I´ve always been a night owl), there are those mornings when wake has nudged me out of bed. With the first rays of light peering through the gaps in the curtains I´ve been drawn to the window and have been treated to a delicious feast - sunrise over the lake, and oh the delight as I scurry to find the camera to capture the beauty of a day dawning.

Jorge and Paree have experienced this also, and each one has dashed for the camera to get that perfect shot before the sun lifts and the magic of the moment is gone forever...How awesome is our Creator and His creation...
