The High Streets are are a sorry sight these days!

The same everywhere, but still very sad

Think it's endemic - so sad

This is happening in the US too- so many factors playing into it though. I really like the ghostly shopper with perfect timing passing by the closing sign. fav

The one in Norwich is closing too, not that I hardly ever go in it.

That's a cool effect with the ghosts. I've tried to get that several times, but could never get the camera settings right. The moving person is either completely invisible or too visible.

I like the effect, a disappearing customer....

Excellent ghosts as a commentary of the shop signs!

Creatively done

Very poignant and speaks volumes. Fav.

Oh dear how sad. Are there any retailers left. I believe BHS and C&A and a few others are gone too.

Sad social statement...and I fear it will get worse. More and more I'm grateful that I'm the age I am and feel privileged to have lived times before Consumerism invaded our lives. I fear for the future of our children and grandchildren against such force.

@s4sayer but our grandparents said that about supermarkets I'm sure
@onewing even charity shops are closing down
@joysabin thank you, sort of worked as o wanted it to
@amyk thank you Amy
@grammyn so glad it sort of worked
@lsquared that was the plan, glad you got the idea!!
@tdaug80 it took a few goes, it's not perfect but closest I've managed to get this effect on purpose using manual settings, so thank you v much
@gillian1912 and that's why it's going, neither of us used it!!! Is Jarrolds still as busy and 'safe'?
@olivetreeann not often a shot I plan works so pleased you got the details I was aiming at!!
@fbailey but a fact of life!! I went to get Him a gift and was told in one shop to go to Amazon as no need for item to be sollc there anymore!!!
@graemestevens thank you Graeme, took a bit of fiddling on 'M' button to sort of get what I wanted. More practice needed
@jacqbb it is!!
@carole_sandford in more ways than one, So many homeless now,
@brennieb so sad indeed, but who's 'fault' is it??!!

Hello.. as your partner this week, how about making a pun? Please tell the pun in your description :-)
December 23rd, 2018  
@arnica17 that should be good pun to do!! Of to pun hunt! Thank you 😎

Nicely done Jackie. Online shopping and skyrocketing rents and other expenses will be having a big impact on retailers everywhere.

Great street scene but tells a sad story
Great caption as well!
