I put together a little feature on empty benches and chairs

Photo feature: Empty chairs and benches, Lambeth parks and the lockdown, March – April 2020

With people asked to spend the absolute minimum amount of time away from their homes, parks and open spaces have become strangely transient and melancholy places, full of people passing through but…

(* I've edited the title and also added the earlier 2020 threads to make one thread for the year. I think that single threads for months aren't that busy and disappear too quickly so it would be better to have a whole year's worth to look back on - hope that's OK)

My friend took this picture yesterday, you gotta read the message on the bench

I've never taken so many photos of my local parks but I like the fact that it becomes more challenging each time I go back to find something new!

Here's a 'trees and shadows' set:

Brockwell Park, trees and shadows – photo feature, April 2020

Here’s a set of photos from Brockwell Park, with its mighty trees casting shadows in the late afternoon sunshine of yet another lockdown day. We hope these photos bring you a bit of cheer in…

They're great editor. Especially the woman exercising/dancing (joyous!), and the tree that looks like it's dynamic, expanding out of the picture (3rd from bottom).

Thank you! I'm hoping that I'll learn a lot more by having to battle the restriction of only have a handful of parks to visit although I dream of travelling again!

I did this series on Sat night of an empty Brixton - it's usually jam packed full of people so it was a melancholic stroll:

In photos: Saturday night in lockdown Brixton – closed bars, deserted streets and an eerie silence, 18th April 2020

Around 11pm on a typical Saturday night, Brixton is usually jam-packed full of noisy drinkers, pubbers, clubbers, hustlers, drunks, dealers and people rushing from one place to another. But now now…

Brixton sunset

A beautiful Brixton sunset reflected in an ’emerald-glazed dome’

It’s a view we’ll never get to see close up because we’re not invited to Squire & Partners’ members-only rooftop terrace, but the building’s luxurious glass dome d…

Spring is just about here in southern New England, and there are a bunch of birds coming around the feeder on our back porch. Unfortunately, the bigger ones like Cardinals and Jays don't really fit on the feeder, so they tend to hang out in the trees behind the house, or forage the seeds that the other birds spill on the ground.

There were some water droplets on the tulips in our tiny garden this morning. First photos I've taken for weeks.
