Beach bars and cruise ships lie idle as the UK government enforce one of the last lockdowns in the world with no end in sight
Thursday 26 March 2020.
Didn't sleep well last night due to dry cough (no fever). Did a bit of work. After lunch nap to catch up on sleep. Felt a bit rough for a while. Mopped the hall floor. Shuffled round the garden and admired the strong sunshine, cloudless sky, and the quiet - traffic noise from the main road about 200 metres away has almost disappeared. Took this photo. The Solar PV panels quietly generate electricity until the shadow of the chimney reduced output.
Several weeks of lockdown is going to be hard work.
In Lockdown UK, the rainbow has become a symbol to cheer people up. Kids draw them on pavements, posters are made. Some thank the postman, other thank the NHS> and some are created out of wool. The technical term is Crochet.
Ours hangs in the window, so passers-by can see it. If it brings one smile, then it is worth it.
A truly amazing sculpture, Contemplations in Lockdown, in hand painted bronze resin by Jonathan Hateley. So much to look at, so much to take in, so many angles to look at it from. Photographs do not really do it justice, Nicole (my wife) and I could of happily stood and looked all day.
This was the lockdown project of Jonathan Hateley, and all the words and phrases representing the period were offered by followers on his social media channels.
Being on lockdown due to the Covid-19 crisis, here's a pictorial diary of our experience. Fujifilm X100F Acros Film Simulation.

During the UK wide COVID-19 lockdown I was finding it frustrating that I couldn't really venture out and shoot the sort of things I normally do. So with plenty of time on my hands indoors, I decided to set myself a little challenge, to document my family in as simple a way as possible.
Basically all I used was one main camera - my Sony A7iii and one lens - my Sigma ART 35mm f/1.4. I would shoot only in camera JPEG and use the in camera black and white profile.
In post process, all I did was some simple crop and rotation corrections. Im sure I have one leg bigger than the other - always seem to be wonky!
I really like the set of images and I might make a little book out of them. I think it captures our moods quite well. Happy one moment, and bored and sad the next.
Kinda glad we can venture out a bit more these days; even if we aren't completely out of the woods yet. The freedom feels amazing....!
During lockdown, I set about making some portraits of my neighbours here on the canal. I made a print for everyone. Some were longlisted for Rankin’s 2020 on Sky Arts, but I don’t think they made the final cut.
This is a 'warning notice' from GO Transit,
a regional train and bus service in Toronto.
I got this notice Friday, as I'd not stamped my ticket.
I'd not stamped my ticket because I and 9 colleagues
had just spent three terrifying hours in a lockdown at my college.
It was Friday afternoon, and the campus was full of people.
I'm talking about creepy alarms, and recorded emergency messages.
Tons of cops with automatic weapons, and helicopters overhead.
I'm talking barricading classroom doors with tables, and thinking,
"I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe I'm doing this".
I'm thinking of the terror people in highschools and colleges
have felt when there's a gun incident.
This is something I felt yesterday.
Three hours locked in the dark, in silence.
Jumping out of my skin each time we heard a door open.
Or saw a shadow pass the barricaded door.
Wondering if 'this is it'.
Half past five we were led out of the college, and told to leave immediately.
I was numb.
I boarded the train, having forgotten to cancel my ticket.
Inspector 76 actually wanted to fine me. And take me off the train.
I tried to explain what had just happened to me.
Utter lack of empathy or any species of compassion.
I am taking this back to their company.
The protest is directed against excessive lockdown measures. One fears the transition to a totalitarian society. Forced apps, implanted chips, 5G control technology.
When the lockdown started, it was quite amazing how many people I saw out 'training'. The sports equipment companies must have made a small fortune. As time has worn on, 'the New Year resolution' mentality seems to have set in and there are definitely fewer than 6 weeks ago. My regime involves, this lot, plus running, walking and 'Zwifting' on my bike.
