Monochrome works better than color in this case.

Pretty disturbing to a former New Yorker.

Saw a link a few weeks ago - maybe here - to a streaming camera in Times Square that apparently runs 24/7. A few people wandering by, a few cars, more bicycles but, for Times Square - EMPTY. Spooky.

Wow....amazing! What a stark comparison to the normal hustle and bustle of the
'big apple'.

I'm from N.Y. and the images almost made me cry.

Agree.

Monochrome depicts a somber mood; mourning.

But, Americans are brave and resilient. Tried and tested, we will bounce back in no time.

Thanks for watching.

Indeed.

I am not from NY but I consider it my second home as my immediate family live in NY and NJ. Unfortunately, my planned visit this month with them was derailed by the virus. Sadly, my sister-in-law (NJ) succumbed to the virus a week ago.

Eerie, isn't it? What if a band of aliens from outer space mistakenly land in NY? There's not a single earthling for them to ask for direction.

Thanks for watching.

Really sad. I'm sure the whole nation and the world feel your pain.

This too shall pass.

Thanks for watching.
