A Sign of the Times

A Sign of the Times
A "locked down" children's playground about a mile from my house, normally full of children laughing and playing............now locked and deserted :-(

John FitzGerald, Frans Schols, Jean Paul Capdeville, trester88 and 8 other people have particularly liked this photo

Glad you like the photo Jean Paul. Your right about the emptiness........... but anyway, I would never dream of taking a photo while the children were playing..............not least because some parents would consider it very suspicious :-(

Some of our lockdown restrictions have been eased as well, but it is a dangerous time and I agree that some people don't seem to understand or even care!

Take care and be safe!

Thanks for the link Keith, I hadn't realised there are quiet a few of these uploads many from across Europe, Probably because my own childhood in care wasn't so happy and eventful as it is today I find it very sad almost upsetting that small young children are being deprived of school (Companionship) then freedom outside and so difficult for them to understand why.

Anyway it's a fine shot Keith and as you say "A sign of the times".

Thanks for commenting Maurice........appreciated. It's very sad that so many children are being deprived of both their schooling and play areas, but it's very necessary to keep them all safe.
