Ever since Petr was a boy, he had a habit. A compulsion, really. To peer out his window first thing upon waking. At first, he passed it off as simple curiosity about what Mother Nature had in store for the day. But as he grew older, it became impossible to deny a deeper need to establish a connection with the outside world, as if someone was simply awaiting his discovery. Now, looking out at the stone street below and across the terracotta rooftops, his gaze immediately locks onto his neighbor’s window. Once again, his morning routine has paid off. Standing there in the open window frame is a raven-haired beauty, completely naked save for a towel held teasingly in front of him. Is he oblivious to Petr's eyes, or is he putting on an intentional show? Either way, Mother Nature has greeted Petr with a spectacular morning—or as they say in Czech, Dobrý Den!
