As any self-respecting geek does on Christmas Day, I went out at around 9am in my home city of Manchester to snap pictures of the abandoned city!

As you may notice, there are very occasional signs of life dotted around, however the silence that was over the city was nothing short of eerie – we were talking in whispers!
