Streets are empty, no traffic on the motorways, looks like holiday season, but no option for any takeway coffee etc.

Yes, that makes it weird.

Enjoy the blossom, here the Magnolia

Z6 24-70/2.8

Allright, you must have modified your Z6 to that extent that the system doesnt revert into crop mode which is what happens when i mount the 10mm f/2.8.

The camera is full-spectrum modified and the shot was done in IR.

Contracting Covid-19 is serious and may prove fatal for my health as I'm very susceptible to any lung diseases. The quarantine is not because of any whim or free will on my part. I'll stay put as long as necessary.

Strong and very artistic statement Birna.
 
  Beautiful flowers John. That 24-70 2.8 of yours is working very well in your hands with the Z6

   I´m also home so a flash unit and my cousin are at hand.

Birna - I am in complete sympathy with your need for quarantine, and your restlessness (?) while in purdah - I feel exactly the same. Though I don't have any particular lung difficulies, I am 75 and have heart (pacemaker fitted), prostate and hypertension problems and am very careful about any foray into the world outside our garden (luckily it is large), where there might be PEOPLE, and therefore the virus.

This thread is such a fantastic kaleidoscope of images, stories and comments I really wanted to be part of it. March has been such a dreadful month (weather) that I haven't much to offer - the Ben Ghlas/Ben Lawers massif is something I see every day,  from the garden I mentioned.

Dave, you should consider yourself lucky with that kind of view from your backdoor ....

I do see forests and hills, but almost no snow at present.

great portrait! You dare to show the black not edit it away ...

It's eerily quiet outside and only occasionally a child or its parents can be spied moving around. The playground across the road is empty all through the day.

In Germany we sit home for the next five weeks with our children. Now government closed all public playgrounds. Sun is shining. Today I went walking the dogs with my sister and daughter. Beautiful air and light.
