Challenge #164 in the U live, U learn U love, U learn U cry, U learn U lose, U learn U bleed, U learn U scream, U learn series. Hosted by ConanFujiX, ConanFuji.

Challenge has finished

Take a well exposed streetshot of a metropolitan element/area which appears to be unusually quiet or devoid of the usual crowd. I don't need the whole city, just some part of it. Put a Border and Title Watermark on the photograph itself. Photo can be taken with any camera, i.e DSLR, SLR, Mirrorless, Compact, Smartphone, etc... Sunset/sunrise shots are acceptable provided they are not those silhouette type of shots.
