empty places

I had booked a night in Östersund, Sweden on my quick trip to return our rental car to Oslo. I didn't know it would be Midsommar and that the small city would be virtually empty of people. I walked many empty streets looking for a place to eat, but everywhere I went looked like this photo, devoid of all signs of human life and activity! Eventually I chanced across Tre Rum Restaurant, whose bartender/owner told me it was the only place open in the city. It was bustling with the, I don't know, 40 or 50 remaining souls who had not left town for the countryside. I had a wonderful meal and a great time!
