Timeline
06:54
Pick up a quick breakfast slice at Mama Mia's before the hospital crowd arrives.
07:14
Walk to the Billings Building at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Position yourself on the south side to face the structure as the sun rises.
07:24
Watch the sunrise illuminate the architecture. The sun sets toward the WSW, so the early morning light will cast long, dramatic shadows across the facade.
08:09
Head to Daily Grind for high-quality coffee and a fresh wrap. It opens at 07:00 on weekdays, so it will be ready for you after the sunrise moment.
