Warm, golden glow settles upon the buildings, softening their sharp edges. The sky blazes with vibrant hues, painting the clouds in shades of orange, pink, and purple. Long shadows stretch across the streets as the sun dips below the horizon. A gentle breeze carries the scent of flowers from a nearby park. The city slowly transitions from the bustle of day to the quiet anticipation of night.

We took photos at the photo booth, but the quali...
