PHOTOS: Shuttered shops and empty streets line what was once Venezuela’s thriving capital, especially after dark, amid a two decade economic decline. By npisarenko
A billboard stands empty above a highway with no traffic as the sun sets in Caracas, Venezuela, Monday, March 18, 2019. When the sun goes down in Venezuela's capital, the once-thriving metropolis empties under darkness.

High-rise buildings stand unfinished, the workers having long ago abandoned their jobs. Windows are covered over with cardboard rather than finished with glass.
