A rainy nighttime city scene in Shinjuku in Tokyo with a silhouetted young man holding a transparent umbrella in the foreground. Bright neon billboards and storefront signs glow above a wet, reflective street, with trees framing the left side and a plaza area behind the man. The scene is bathed in green and pink glows and the famous giant 3D billboard cat of Shinjuku is watching over the man and the crowd behind him on the square.

A modern futuristic metro station in Munich interior with a dramatic curved glass roof and large steel-and-concrete surfaces. A passing train is visible on the left, while a glass elevator shaft and tall support columns stand in the center. The architecture feels sleek, angular, and cavernous, with daylight streaming in from above. The perspective chosen by the photographer gives the feeling that the piercing and unsettling eyes from the joker in Batman movies, or from a malicious cat, are watching the passing metro train.
