Ghosts by Charlotte Waygood, category winner in the 2021 MMLL Year Abroad Photo competition

"This photo was taken across the road from the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (The Memorial to the Battle of the Nations), in Leipzig. On the day that the photo was taken, it was after dark and foggy, so the lights around the monument had been switched on, causing the ghostly shapes of the soldiers who fought in the battle. I liked the contrast between the long-dead soldiers and the modern bus passing below."
