A nighttime photograph captures an urban street scene in Sofia, Bulgaria

A nighttime photograph captures an urban street scene in Sofia, Bulgaria. In the immediate foreground, an asphalt road displays surface imperfections, leading to a concrete curb. Behind the curb, a narrow strip of grass precedes a dark metal fence. A single street light pole with an illuminated fixture is positioned behind the fence on the left side, casting light. Behind the fence, vehicles are parked, including a distinct white commercial van or minibus. In the mid-ground and background, two multi-story buildings dominate the upper frame. The building on the left is a lighter-colored structure with multiple windows, some illuminated with standard yellow/white light, while two lower-floor windows emit vivid purple and magenta light. Air conditioning units are visible on its facade. To its right, a taller, darker building features multiple balconies and numerous illuminated windows, with additional air conditioning units visible on its side. Bare tree branches with no foliage are silhouetted against a dark, cloudy night sky. No individuals are visible in the scene.
