Thanks for posting these! I originally intended to go myself, but the laziness and warmth kinda convinced me to sleep in for a while. I was kinda wondering about what vantage points would be left open.

Those daybreak photos are killer too, like the shots from the marathon. I'd love to start shooting that early sometime.

Nice pictures and video Boris. Thanks for braving the cold for the rest of us losers. :D I heard you guys were supposed to get a freeze, so I know it must have been cold. Nice sunrise on the buildings there.
