After the midnight hour, in many places, u almost own this city to yourself. Like we did for this video, u can walk on most of the streets avoiding any traffic or human contact. Nothing happening there, uh? Nope, beware, this is where the beauty lies... whereas FFM by day is a stuffed concrete box full of so many people, the historic buildings, the architecture and art, the busy streets, the river Main - it all gets the chance to calm down, becoming visible in the foreground beautifully. The city scape is way more than a wallpaper for the human hustle and bustle that is core to Frankfurt. A stroll through FFM at night sets u in a different perspective vibing off of this edgy metropole, that is huge and small at the same time. To add sound to that is always a big pleasure.
