#Citiesatnight
Thereβs nothing like it.
Thereβs a calmness thatβs counterbalanced by the energy that the night lights suggest.
There are stories behind each set of windows.
There are daytime stories and nighttime stories.
But, the night brings with it a sense of mystery. #urbanism #cities
The very sharp image taken with a 200 mm focus from orbit shows a pattern of blocks, patches and lines of light in a dark surroundings.
