We are back in lockdown again at the moment because two people from the lockdown areas of western Sydney drove 150 km north to Belmont to a beach party last Friday and spread the Delta strain of Covid to the Newcastle, Hunter and Port Stephens areas.
I heard on the news today that 7 students from Newcastle University have tested positive to the Delta strain. They were at the party in Belmont. I do hope the two people who left their lockdown areas illegally appreciate the consequences of their actions, but I doubt it somehow. It makes my blood boil when people are so irresponsible.
I have been looking through old photos today and this is one I haven't posted before. I just love the textures and patterns of this old corrugated building.
Over the next few days I will be posting photos of a similar vein, hope you enjoy them.
Thanks for putting yesterday's winter sunset on the tp and the pp. Luckily yesterday's photo is at our local beach and only 200 metres from my home, so I am still able to walk on this beach during lockdown.
Fabulous textures. So sorry about the two eejits. Every country has them sadly and the damage and inconvenience they bring is so disproportionate. Yesterday here for the first time I found myself surrounded in the shops by people not wearing masks or distancing. It was quite scary as we still have plenty of Delta variant around. Modern man does not like to be told what to do methinks. Hope you are out of it soon.
Lovely shot. I like the rusty drain pipe. Some, and there are many somes, people are so irresponsable, they are too selfish and couldn't care a hoot about others. It is very sad for those who sacrifice so much to act according to protocol in this pandemic which has no end in sight.
Love this!
I truly dont understand why people do the wrong thing like the 2 you've mentioned....and now have put another region at risk & into lockdown! What is so hard to stay at home & in your own LGA?!
Love all the textures and the wood on the metal. We have the same problem here. They think their right to gamble with their own health overrides our right to protect our health. We are lucky to have enough shots in California so it is just a matter of choice if they are over 12.
@pusspup I have photographed this building a few times and every time it looks a little bit different. I have posted a couple of photos of the building before and here is a link to one of them. http://365project.org/onewing/365/2016-05-30 If you click on the link there is also a link to the same building at a different time.
The version above is how it looked the last time I took a shot of it.
Love the rusty pipe and the lines of the corrugated siding and framed box which could be a window… not sure. Bummer about the lockdown… lucky you to have a beach within walking distance.
This is quite intriguing. I’ve been trying to work out if that’s a boarded up window but then decided it probably wasn’t because it’s so near the drainpipe.
@rjb71 Vaccination in Australia has been abysmal. Our prime minister put all his eggs in one basket and stuck mainly with AstraZeneca because it can be produced in Melbourne and only limited Pfizer. Then the threat of clots with AZ surfaced and people didn't want that. AZ was for people over 50 years of age and Pfizer for people 25 - 50. Essential workers were supposed to be given the vaccine first but that didn't happen and now aged care workers and hospital staff who haven't had the vaccine are spreading it to the people they are supposed to be helping. I could go on but you get the idea. Younger people age 18 to 25 are now being vaccinated, but a lot of the older generation haven't had access to either AZ or Pfizer yet,
@kvphoto@nickspicsnz I took a photo of this building a few years ago http://365project.org/onewing/365/2016-05-30 and every time I go back it changes each time. It is a boarded up window Nick and it looks like the wider drainpipe has been added later to replace a narrow one.
And the Covid numbers and deaths continue to climb!
Great pic.

@leestevo You are best staying where you are, I would stay away from Sydney if I were you.

I reckon our lockdown will be longer than first thought as more cases emerge in our area.
