Introspective Time

Men design, create, and alter cities.  Face of a city, therefore, somewhat conforms to its creators' plans and intentions.

However, if you visit business districts at unusual timings when they are not serving the intended functions, like on holidays, they show different faces.  

A short break of a busy city - free from weekdays' hustle and bustle.  I see a soundless peace  there. 

Just like we, the people, rest to recover from stress from work on weekends, the city should be resting and enjoying its introspective time. 

I am attracted to such a business district.  I visit there to witness its another face. 

I try to express a tranquillity of city life using a holiday business district as a motif.
