I like Easter. It’s one of two days in the year (the other being Christmas) when almost all shops are closed. On this day, the town becomes very quiet. There are few cars on the roads and even fewer people in the streets. It’s good for introverts like me to go out and take pictures. This Easter was matched with great weather. I spent two hours walking around town in places that would normally be bustling with activity. Here are some of the photos that I shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
