Street and social documentary photography captured during one of my few 'daily' exercise walks. This entrance to East Kilbride Shopping Centre, Scotland, would normally be buzzing with activity. In these dark times just a lone mobile phone user and the hint of someone exiting the complex with the obligatory pack of toilet rolls.

 

Stay safe everyone.

Sorry about all the dandelion shots ... lockdown means still lifes, or garden shots, or ... still lifes in the garden!!! Yesterday, I was experimenting with different manual focus lenses ... hence all the dandelion shots.

Staying home but longing to have the freedom to go out and about wherever I want...one can hope.

for HMM "Macro Mondays" and "Lockdown Song"

 

This is my favorite song ever.

I often find the scattered tiny feathers on my path. I believe they are the signs of my guardian angel who wants to tell me that he is always next to me, in good times and even bad ones. Thank you my angel, I'm loving angels instead

Another full Lockdown in the UK. These four walls are closing in. Big Pharma ??? Why are some nurses not using gloves to give injections? Why did my old mate go into Hospital with septicemia and die of covid? What a total mess the UK is in. They will force us to take the vaccination one way or another and then a yearly booster to max their profits. Wake up, just follow the money.

This is what it's come to in the UK. Pharmaceutical-driven agenda that will enslave the Human Race AND THEY WILL USE YOUR MOBILE PHONE TO TAKE AWAY YOUR FREEDOM

This is Honey having a bit of a paddle in this reservoir. She is not a massive fan of water, but she will go in water as long as it gets no where near her head, she doesn’t like wet ears.

This was my first trip out for a walk that wasn’t local since the lockdown began, as the rules in England have changed and we are not confined to our local area I thought I’d venture in to the Peak District. To be honest it’s still pretty local, it took me less than 25 minutes to get here, but it was still nice to see some different scenery.

 

To take my mind off the current news and escape a little I’ve been watching quite a few films and I thought I’d mention one of them here, as I can highly recommend it. It is a film I’d already seen, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it again.

The film is called “ The Guernsey literary and potato peel pie society”, it sounds like the title to one of Brian’s tales starring Horace and Hoof, but it’s not, it’s a story loosely based on the German occupation of Guernsey in the Second World War, it’s a great story, very watchable and certainly takes the mind off the current situation we find ourselfs in at the moment. If your in the uk you can find the film on the BBC iPlayer, under the film category, it’s also on amazon prime. It’s quite an uplifting film and I think most would enjoy it.

 

Take care everyone.

We are still in a state of lockdown in Nova Scotia but it is the only way we will beat this virus. Restrictions are really tight and I do want to get out and take pictures but we have to do our part. I have pictures from the past, but the past is the past (great memories), I live for today and the future.

Sure hope Canada issues a vaccine passport soon, it will help with travel around the world. I already need proof of a Yellow Fever vaccine when going to certain countrys so why not!!!!

Lockdown has taken enough of my time. In the train to Amsterdam and 30 minutes later I’m wandering through a deserted town. The part of the town were people not come when the sun is down. I will show you the places I found, one every day if possible.

'LOCKDOWN WALK' - MAY 2020 - NIKON D3300 & TAMRON 18-200 VC

Some of you may remember that my first lockdown project was to take my 40 year old guitar and renovate it. Project two was kind of the opposite. Build a new guitar but make it look like it has been played for forty years. Also I wanted to recycle where possible. The wood is from sepele sill boards from when the double glazing went in 20 yrs ago. The metal scratch plates are from a cooling plate from the old Raeburn cooker. In fact, although I am very happy with how it looks, and more importantly, sounds. I am already "pimping" it. My current project is teaching myself etching with acid. So the scratch plates may get cleaned up and etched. Wish me look-what could go wrong?

I'm taking this time to look at old photos.

'LOCKDOWN WALKS' - MAY 2020 - NIKON D3300 & TAMRON 18-200 VC

It’s now parked well and truly at the back of our minds but wasn’t it strange, Lockdown. I was reduced to local photography and when I say local I mean where I could walk to from my front door not jump in the car to a local beauty spot driving right through the wooly “essential travel only” guideline like many did. Anyway here is a image I took during that time, at 4:40 in the morning, I didn’t want to bump into anybody as my mask was in my other jacket.

Between Christmas and New Year, Tier 4 Level lockdown. I've taken to cycling the empty streets at night even if it is 0 degrees. One place is open on the right however.

De niet-gebruikte fietsenrekken bij het winkelcentrum in Hoofddorp geven de rust tijdens de lockdown goed weer.

 

Empty bicycle stands, Hoofddorp, the Netherlands.

The same process as the previous picture but the source image was a piece of graffiti which itself was expand to include a mirror image of it self.

Nearing the third week of the corona lockdown in Ghent has me hanging out with the local ducks.
