empty on Sunday?

Two days ago, Asnee, our Thai fellow urbansketcher had a great post displaying his many beautiful works of Singapore. One of which is our busy downtown central financial district sketched at lunch peak hours. I prefer to sketch the romantic side of Singapore, but here is a rare sketch I did early this year on Raffles Place, our downtown financial district. Inspired by recent digital exploration from the fellow urbansketchers, I added the digital colours last night. Although our downtown area is a typical busy financial belt categorised by many tall, modern and contemporary buildings designed by world renowned architects, there are less traffic and people on Sundays. Is'nt that the problem of all the financial hubs in the world that they all look like ghost towns on Sundays?
