This was already on Curbed and a couple of other places, so many of you may have already seen this, but for those who haven't, go check out Lucie & Simon's haunting "Silent World" collection -- an eerie collection of photographs of urban centers like Paris, Beijing and -- of course -- New York City, but robbed of virtually all of their respective inhabitants (the photographers usually plant one or two individuals in each frame). They're quite striking.
Above is their depiction of an uncharacteristically ghostly stretch of 6th Avenue. I've worked in or around the neighborhood above for all my professional life, and it's truly a rare scene to see it that deserted, being that it's usually choked with iPhone zombies, tourists, besuited office douches and other human cattle.
