What does your morning ritual involve? Having a cup of coffee, hitting the snooze button multiple times or plunging into the local lake for a swim?
In a bid to find out how peoples' routines vary around the world, Belgian photographer Pascal Mannaerts ventured to Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East snapping photos as the sun rose.
His candid photo series titled '8am around the world' shows what people get up to in the morning, with antics varying from praying to stretching to farming crops.
He told MailOnline Travel that he wanted to capture the 'amazing morning light' and the 'feeling to start another day in an unknown place, with an open and totally fresh mind'.
The cameraman said he felt 'an even greater closeness to people early in the day', as he saw them before their 'daily activities had taken them into their own universe'. He added that he was especially touched by the 'omnipresent spirituality' that he witnessed at the crack of dawn in India.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
