The streets of the city...



... were quiet yesterday. The skies were grey, reflecting the mood perfectly. It was lunch time in the city and all of the streets shown here are usually the busiest with the hustle and bustle of office workers and visitors shopping or looking for something delicious for lunch. It was good to see and at the same time sad to see.. I know you will understand exactly what I mean. Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  2. It's oh so quiet
    It's oh so still … 😅
    I'm not bothered by this silence …
    Nature can breathe a bit, I hear the birds singing better and the sky is so incredible blue!
    I just regretted that I couldn't move freely ... until now! Have a nice Thursday, Grace! 🤗

  3. Strange times, Grace! It is so hard to believe that the world could shut down like this.

  6. The birds are enjoying their space.
    The city does look different during this strange period.

  7. Beautiful city Grace. Never thought cities all over the world would one day be empty. Hopefully things will get better.

  9. Our bustling cities look so sad at the moment, not that I have visited ours for many weeks.

  10. It does look strange doesn't it.

    I do like the Autumn colour in your header photograph and also in the trees on this post, particularly in the first one.

    All the best Jan

  11. I understand completely. It is certainly strange to see places that are notoriously busy devoid of people. Strange times we are living in.

  13. The quiet streets and roadways are so strange. You've captured that so well. I'm in awe of how quiet the skies are too. So few planes going over...

  14. A bit scary, Grace. Here it´s going back to normal.
    Too to normal for some.

    Still great to see. We have not booked Perth yet...

  17. Waikiki has never been so empty or forlorn, yet the beauty is here. People are filtering back including locals who are venturing out cautiously a bit more. You guys have handled this beautifully and we can only hope to rejoin the civilized Nations after our election

  18. It is so relaxing to be in the city at the moment - feels like a country town with bigger buildings. But I am sure most city dwellers don't want to live in a country town.

  19. So strange to see normally busy places like this. Where I live is a lake 'resort' town and it was quiet this past long weekend.
