I am all on board with "Fuck Cars", but also your street is always going to look nicer with bright overhead lighting during midday, relative to the dreary shadows of the early morning.
The buildings on the left have sunbeams on them and you can see the bright sky reflected on the car windscreens. The bottom pic has a cloudy sky but has been brightened and saturated as much as the top pic has been dulled and greyed.
We get the point, but be honest
The bottom picture looks like a mock up computer generated image from an architect's presentation of their plan for the street.
That's how apartment and house pictures get me. The brightly edited rooms look so nice!
THAT is what you saw?
I saw no cars, plants, people walking and enjoying, I saw beauty. Just the "oh but the lighting is better too" is something I really just plain missed.
