Colombo Street under L4 lockdown - empty except for the accumulating autumn leaves

14 April 2020, 11:46AM

Bus stop #14974 outside South City Shopping Centre, during Covid-19 L4 lockdown. Apart from an occasional bus passing, the only thing moving in town seemed to be the eddies of autumn leaves, slowly accumulating in drifts along the deserted pavement.
