Outside the Piazza dei Miracoli there actually is not so much more major architecture to see in fact. For that reason this place is packed with people from the early morning till late in the evening with a peak during mid-day. When I scouted this composition during the day, I knew I had to be there very early to have the place to myself for this photo. So a few days later I woke up early and drove to Pisa at around 3:15 to arrive around 4:15 and set up my tripod. At around 5am the light was at its best and I returned back to our place well in time to make breakfast for the rest of the family :-)
