Masked St Vincent by monicac

Masked St Vincent

This is St Vincent, the patron saint of my city. Masks are compulsory here, so somebody decided that public statues should also wear one - and then proceeded to put masks on practically all statues in the city; all famous or representative statues are masked right now. It must have been quite a hard job, especially with statues on high pedestals like this one.
Ha ha, interesting idea, but I wonder if the city officials like it!

Love this - and wishing my locale had a mask rule - you can't depend on the decency of others to wear one unless forced to!

What a great idea! I think every city should do this as a reminder to people to wear masks. Great capture.

A must have shots hope this has history soon. Well captured.

That is too funny, Monica. It does get the message across though.

Great shot. Here masks are required indoors but not outdoors

This is such a great idea! And love your photo of it! It might be in history books in a few years :)

@busylady Thanks - city officials don't seem to mind, seeing as no harm was done to the statues.

@linnypinny @pattyblue @dutchothotmailcom @mittens @bkbinthecity @ingrid01 Thanks a lot! Here masks are compulsory everywhere as soon as you leave home. The only exceptions are when doing sport (because you need to be able to breathe properly), if you have some kind of health problem which could be aggravated by the mask and children under 6 (but many wear them, because they want to emulate older people).

very clever to put masks on statues, Hope it catches on and people start wearing them more

@ninaganci Thanks for your comment - here most people wear the mask, probably for fear of being fined
