After the fireshow at Strand Beach, we headed home, capturing a few shots along Beach Road that evening.
It was around 19:00, but the road was surprisingly quiet, with only a few cars, many parked along the roadside.
Is it due to shorter winter days, or is it a precaution against crime, with people preferring to stay home after dark?
Either way, it was a wonderful evening!
