44, Open by helenhall

44, Open

It is a sign that you don't often see nowadays. Barely anything is open and we are already wondering how we will adjust when places are open again. Will our trips out be dominated by fear for months to come? Will retail and leisure places open up only to have to close again in a continuous cycle? So much we don't know about these "unprecedented times" yet.

I do know that my work inbox is very much open and is keeping me a little too busy for my own comfort this week.

This was taken at the Willington locks on Sunday morning last week, my last venture out until this morning.
let's hope for a vaccine. I have to venture out today and I feel a little overwhelmed. But I get to wear something I purchased a while ago that's been sitting in my closet wondering if it was ever going to be worn.

It may come in handy one day, but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Well spotted appropriate shot.

Great shot. Our laws were relaxed a bit today, we can now visit our families in groups of 2, some beaches and shops are opening up again

A great find and shot of this welcome sign. I must admit that my thoughts tend to go in the same direction as yours. The only difference being that our country appears third world compared to yours.

so hard to know what kind of world we will live in once this pandemic is behind us, whenever that may be. i feel for all the young folk whose plans have been messed up so much. i like the arrows here, indicating that things can indeed open ;)

Is that an instruction? Your commentary really touches on something quite fundamental... the lack of open and honest words from those on high! They should (but probably never will be) thoroughly ashamed of themselves.

A wonderful and timely metaphor. And a poignant commentary.

You ask great questions, and I suppose only time will reveal the answers. Wonderful commentary and, as always, perfect shot to pair with it.
