I chose this image as home page background because a photo taken at night is one of the best ways to show how busy and developed a city is. The bright lights in the picture represent where people live and work. Cities with more lights, like New York and Los Angeles, stand out clearly, showing they are large and full of life. In contrast, the darker areas show places that are less populated or not as developed. Compared to photos taken during the day, night images make it easier to see where people are and how cities have grown. This picture gives us a clear view of how people are spread out across the country and how some areas are much more active than others.
