16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Broken cities of North America

The 2017 was celebrated as the 150th year of founding of the Canadian capital. In contrast to the celebrations I noticed that the main downtown core a few hundred feet from the parliament building there were more than 30 street lights were in despair with broken globes/ missing bulbs and even missing poles and protruding wires.It was more than seven years I was watching this neglect from the city officials and took over myself to bring into trier attention.
