calm through the window while the world woke up

I'm sure you're all sick of seeing pictures from outside my window, but it was so pretty outside this morning that I couldn't help it. My favorite part of my neighborhood is that it's so quiet. When I wake up, all I can hear is the crunching of the snow while someone walks by. When I look out the window and see the downtown skyline, and it's funny to me to see a major city skyline while it's so silent outside. So I guess it is possible to make a city appear quiet.
