Green Street Cyclists

A quick trip into town today for some bread and veg from the market since the petition to reopen it was successful. It’s a very much reduced offering and the barriers all around make it look like a prison (I don’t know why they’re necessary as the crowds were attracted by the hot food stalls not empty pitches) but better than nothing. I nearly photographed a couple of our safety marshalls, unmasked, 2 feet apart and leaning against the window of an empty shop having a quiet fag. Summed up what I think of the council at the moment but I chickened out - my new lens isn’t very subtle! I’m pretty sure the cyclist is going the wrong way up Green Street here but congestion isn’t exactly a problem...

Weather: light drizzle
Covid: ongoing
Good things: off to walk a dog (hurrah!) for someone isolating (not too ill luckily), a food drop off to a young family in a village which included unicorn cakes, a new President- hallelujah!
Makes for an interesting shot with the cyclist just about to make an appearance

Terrific shot...Neat street stonework details

I like the two cyclists
January 20th, 2021  
Nice one.

Very nice. Can't remember the last time I saw a city street. Weird.

Great city in lockdown shot complete with mask

@lucycameron was pleased about the mask!

Ooh how fantastic to have a long lens to catch the law enforcers misbehaving! If only! So glad to hear the market petition worked, trying to think if I signed it ...I seemed to think I did! I like the inclusion of the ghostly face!

Great photo....enjoy your market purchases

@happypat ooh thanks for signing. I’ve corrected all the ‘auto-incorrects’ now!
January 20th, 2021  
Well done!

Love the motion in this, and the lovely spots of turquoise. Miss riding my bike, four more months...

Great shot - nice pov and very well timed. It's annoying when people don't follow the rules and even more so when they are the rule makers. We have to wear masks on public transport yet yesterday none of the rail staff were masked up!

I love the splashes of turquoise and the cyclist creeping into the frame.

Boy do I get your sense of irony...probably a safer shot to take though

Cool!

What a charming street and great pov. Glad you are able to get out.
January 21st, 2021  
Oh what a super POV! Great framing using the masked cyclist in the foreground.

Interesting inadvertent (?) framing! Astonishing how many people refuse to wear masks or take this pandemic seriously.
January 21st, 2021  
@aikiuser deliberate framing- don’t usually need to wait too long for a cyclist!
January 21st, 2021  
@judithg Not easy, well done indeed! :-)
January 21st, 2021  
Wonderful shot of a charming setting. Love the cyclist framing. And a new president is a very good thing.
