Thierry Cohen - Lightless Cities at night

[Rob MacKillop]

Here's a photographer who gives us an idea of how the skies would look if we did not use lights in out cities. He photographed the sky from uninhabited areas on the same parallel, then placed them above cityscapes in which he had taken out all the lights. Interesting!

thwy almost look post apocalyptic maybe
