This is the continuation of the Social Lens series: On the Streets with Corona.
Why 'Social Lens'?
It is called Social, because I am interested in everything related to humanity, how people live and act, what we do consciously and unconsciously, how we effect the world around us and treat one another.
Lens in this context refers to -- wait for it -- the lens of the camera I will be using to take the pictures of what I am seeing (that at least is pretty obvious...), but it also refers to my viewpoint - everything I watch and see is observed through my eyes. There isn't really a way around that of course, and as long as one is aware of that it shouldn't be much of a problem. After all, life is experienced individually and every point of view can add to the greater whole.
On sunny days, the parks are full of people
Last year at this time of year, the scene looked very different: parks were closed off to the public and it was forbidden to meet. This spring, while the rules are still quite restrictive, people seem to be much more at ease outside. Especially young people meet together and don't always follow the social distancing rules.
Hanging out at this wall
overseeing the local lake is very popular. And smoking seems to be on the rise again...
These places where many locals meet
is also a spot for older people (mostly men) who collect the bottles left by the visitors. They can be exchanged for money at the super market which supplements their income to some degree.
Note: If the picture(s) in this post depicts yourself or someone you know and you want it removed, please let me know and I will remove it. As street photography is considered to be an art form in my country it enables artists to publish pictures of people in public places.
