Living in Central London allows me to exercise my body and mind by walking around trying to record some of the weirdness of the current World situation - it is hard to ignore. It is also an opportunity to see and photograph things you cannot ordinarily see, and will never see again, hopefully - Covent Garden devoid of people was for some reason particularly strange.

There are of course others exercising especially on the South Bank as if the world comprised only the young, fit and/or beautiful. The darker reality is visible in Trafalgar Square which is "busy" like the South Bank but its inhabitants are the less fortunate, less visible residents of this City who do not have health, homes, or friends or family to help them, or who are otherwise lost in a world which is lost from its old reality.

I did not set out to record these strange times originally - the sign in St James's Park with Buckingham Palace struck home since our children used to play there. As events have turned stranger by the day, I feel I need to record this weirdest event in recent world history (weirder even than (9/11)) which will impact us all for decades to come and leave a scar on our children and future generations. Hopefully we will also learn and change our ways.

In between, I have tried to add images that are not related to the pandemic to amuse myself and hopefully you and to remind us that it will one day be over and that there will be life beyond Corona Virus. I hope my aim is true.

I hope you will enjoy my wonder and my wanders and you will pardon my puns.

all the best

Victor
