At the Masked Ball, they do the Corona Carrot Dance !

This is the last week of the Confinement here, though the village market, which has been operating for the last 2 or 3 Wednesdays, will probably not look much different afterwards, as we will still have to practice social distancing. There were of course a lot less stands, but the important ones were there - 3 fruit & veg, rôtisseur, charcutier, fromagère, oriental meals. At this time of the year, between two holiday weekends, it would normally be full of tourists, and with stands selling the tourist stuff like Catalan specialities, honey, etc.

About half the people were wearing masks, and about half of those were the washable type like this, which I think are of some use. Here in France the general public can now buy the single-use surgical masks, but I wonder how useful they are, especially as at 1 euro each I can't see people throwing them away after 4 hours use.

There is definitely a style thing going on with the re-useable ones. How long before Hermes and Soi Paris are selling them ?
Our new normal....

Funny how we see someone in a mask now and don't bat an eyelid. Great shot to look back on in 20 years

Very colourful market shot. The seller expression turning away, the buyer leaning in - hasn't the world changed?

Nice to hear that you are going to be getting a bit of release. But things will be very different everywhere for a while yet.

Very cool! I’ve heard Armani already started a production line here in Italy... for the civil protection, actually, but...
