This wistful black-and-white image of the Papengang in Groningen paints a telling picture of the time of the pandemic, when the streets were largely deserted.
In this otherwise much-traveled alleyway, especially during the nightlife, you now see only one deserted person taking a shortcut toward home, or anywhere else to go.
The photograph, partly due to the strong black and white contrasts, has something mysterious about it. It invites you to look into the street and wonder what is on the other side.
