Most nights, after 3 or 4 am, we would go through the back streets of wherever we were staying and look at what things are like without the people. These streets reminded me of the last scene of “On the Beach,” from the 60’s or so. They left me feeling very despondent and alone. The end of the movie went through my head over and over.
The Sidewalk at Night
At night the city has a different feel. Objects seem to become something other than what they were during the day.
