I don't know why I felt like making a thread about this. However, as the mood took me...
I am one of those people who loves 'anti-social' hours- Walking through empty city streets at sunrise, getting up early and just lying and listening to the birds and the quiet. Walking through crisp untouched snow at 6:30am and watching the world get lighter. I love untouched snow, and I also love the only set of footprints in the snow being mine, it makes me feel like it's just me in this giant playground.
It's always better in summer too, with more light. Because late evening and early morning, before it gets hot, there is that magic quality of light, which when combined with silence and stillness is very tranquil and...I don't know, it just makes me content.
Anyone else like these times of day? or have any other specific times of day they enjoy?

I like it when I go camping and get up in the middle of the night to go to toilet or whatever and the campsite is silent and all the stars are out and I feel really rebellious!
I also like walkIng my dog really early in the morning when noone else is around.
I love it too. I used to love wandering around our uni campus at about 5-6am when it was really quiet, because all the rabbits were out and they were so used to the uni students that they didn't run away for ages. I used to go and wander around town too, take a camera and just wander by the river. I came across two ducks asleep in the middle of a pavement one time.
And the snow, it's so peaceful walking out in the snow when it's quiet and untouched, especially if it's still snowing and you can just watch it falling.
And I love in summer in the early morning or early evening being in the woods. Our local hospice has really nice woods and there's a nature forest round here and it's so relaxing when it's quiet. :)
I used to go for bike rides at about 3am until 5-6am when I couldn't sleep and just loved riding along the deserted streets and looking everything in the pale light. I'd pretend I was the last person on earth.
When I used to live in Colorado I'd love going out late at night during the winter to this park that was by my house. I'd just walk around listening to the tss tss tss of the new snowfall. It's a sound you never notice unless it's completely quiet. And I loved the cold cuz it made me feel alive and awake and it's the biggest thing i miss after moving to the Southwest

These are some of the pictures I've taken while I was wandering, the uni ones are from about 5 or 6am, hospice ones are in the afternoon but it's always quiet there!

And this is the woods at our local hospice, it's so pretty to walk around!
I love night time (although I hate being outside in the dark on my own)
Outside my front garden, there's a little bit of grass and some trees and then a canal and then grass and trees the other side.
Then there's a road and a load of fields and a little wood on the other side of the road so it's pretty peaceful late at night
Plus there's loads of wildlife so it's really nice to see it undisturbed when there's no one around
I hate 3am phone calls... I love being awake during the night but I hate the whole:
"Hey Squishy!!!"
"What do you want?"
"You sound mad... Were you sleeping?"
"No! I was conducting the Macy's Day parade!"
I am more than you know, streetlights and open roads, I am more than a face stuck living in one place. So call me California, call me what you will, because I am bigger than this place, and so far from alone. I don't believe in your hate, because these scars are gunna fade, so pour me out like water and soak me up like rain. Like a runaway, I spend these nights counting stars, like a runaway. And maybe I could call this home tonight?

wow, I love the third picture with the sun shining on the water between the buildings. I've never seen something like that.
Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak.
Sometimes it just means you're strong enough to let go.
