The concert season is in full-swing at Paimpont Abbey: this is the somewhat surreal sight of some of the audience watching tonight's concert by Morgan of Glencoe - a Celtic Harpist... and the only person in the Abbey not wearing a mask!
@judithdeacon It's a double-edged sword - as the sacristan of Paimpont Abbey it's my responsibility to see that the social-distancing rules are observed. The group of friends in the foreground is together but separated from the main audience by several metres!
This is our life, for all of us. I fear it will not improve until the hardcore who don't/won't wear masks realise their cupidity and irresponsibility to the human race :-(
Amazing capture depicting our current status! Nothing like this open here as we go back into stage 3 restrictions with masks this time. Well captured :)
@s4sayer You have a point, Margo, but wouldn't place all the blame on them. Politicians make the decisions and must take a fair share of the blame. I'm sure that's as true in France as in the UK. The scientific evidence re. masks is not entirely for or against. I find that people who wear them are more likely to ignore social distancing so they scare me as they get ever closer to me, even if I too am wearing one.
Incredible light. It reminded me of Rembrandt's painting "Anatomy Lesson" - probably because of these masks. The situation is very awkward: many elderly people take off their masks during the concert.
I like the light on the people. It seems the people are in close groups but perhaps they are living units and/or the photo only makes them look like they are sitting close together.
I understand the importance of and am in total approval of social distancing as well as masks but wish that it weren't necessary. One can dream that we well overcome.
Looks great on black.
