Description
I haven't slept for 27 hours, so it seems to me like I took this picture today, although it was actually yesterday.

New York was surprisingly empty on the 5th of July. Maybe it was because of yesterday night's celebrations, or maybe because of the temperature; 32 degrees C (90 F) and an almost unbearable air humidity.

I walk into the McDonald's on Broadway next to Ground Zero, and when I exit shortly after, the rain is pouring down, accompanied by loud crashes of thunder. Most people are seeking shelter under storefronts, as am I when these two women come running across the street, laughing.
I feel that I have captured the moment pretty good, but you had to be there for the atmosphere.

And to the two running across the street, if you ever see this picture, thanks for being there at that time

Taken at 400 ISO. Slightly enhanced contrast by altering tones, and the saturation is a bit reduced, to give the picture the same gray look as New York at that time...
