Why I love early mornings! Because not only it's the best time for me to feel inspired, energized and refreshed, but it's also the best time to take photos! That's what I did one morning with my dad after we woke up super early, right after sunrise! Bada Gumbad mosque is so underrated. And Lodhi Garden is one of the few places in Delhi where you can be with the nature, observe the locals with peace, admire some beautiful architectural gems and not feel claustrophobic. Especially right after Feel Inspired, Early Morning, Mosque, The Locals, Mornings, Delhi, Barcelona Cathedral, Sunrise
