Themes for the monthly
City Daily Photo linkup are decided a long time in advance and “City People” did not seem like a difficult theme at the time. But then the pandemic hit and people are discouraged from gathering in groups. Businesses closed their doors. We find ourselves in a different and rather lonely world.
Since I didn't have any current photos on this topic, I went into Front Royal to take some pictures. The main street is now blocked off on weekends so that restaurants can use the sidewalks as café space. Indoor seating is allowed but only at limited capacity. Unfortunately rain was approaching so only a few people were dining outdoors.
I took a number of pictures using my cell phone, having left my camera in the car because it might make people uncomfortable. I decided to use the image of the woman on a bench as my theme picture because is represents the behavior of many of us during this time of social distancing: she is using her phone to stay connected and her pet is her companion.

On another street, I stopped behind a cyclist at a traffic light. His vest reads "Lone Wolf. No Club."
