Silent Streets 2

While on vacation in Myrtle Beach, I felt rather inspired by the unique scenery, and spent much of the trip taking pictures. Our hotel happened to have an 8-story parking garage across the street from it, which was something new for my trips, so I headed up there to see how the view was. As luck would have it, I was able to access the top of the elevator tower, thanks to some unsecured maintenance stairs.

The humidity at the beach is always rather intense, especially at night, so I had to wait quite some time for my camera lens to de-fog. When it did, and I started picking out shots, I realized that there wasn't a single moving car or pedestrian as far as I could see. I guess that's what happens in the middle of the week, but it still seemed highly unusual. These are probably the only images like this that I'll capture; urban night scene with no sign of human activity whatsoever.
