Night Sky Without City Lights

What exactly would the big towns and cities look like assuming they were plunged into absolute darkness? French photographer Thierry Cohen chooses to demonstrate what the cities could look like once they went dark during a clear day. His project "Darkened Cities" exhibits well-known cityscapes in darkness beneath the night sky. To make the photographs, Cohen first of all went to places that are uncorrupted by the light pollution of big cities, catching stunning night shots of the Milky Way hovering above. Then he mixed these images with manipulated photos of numerous cities to achieve the effect.
