Night-night Greenmarket Square
posted by Paul
Greenmarket Square was built way back in 1696 and at the time was (disgracefully) used as a slave market and later a vegetable market. In the 1950s it was apparently (though I wasn't around to verify this) used as a parking lot, and only in the 1980s was it converted into a craft and flea market for informal traders. The area is super-safe during the day, though I'd keep a wary eye open for suspicious-looking people at night. This said, I felt safe enough to whip out my camera and take a few photos of the deserted market area.

Almost every evening for seven months last year I walked the exact route this photo displays (from background to foreground), and I never once thought* to plonk down my camera and get a shot like this.
*Although possibly, because it was slightly earlierthan what this shot depicts, the traders were usually packing up all their stuff so there was often unattractive scaffolding everywhere.
But still.
Great photo taken at a great angle
