Boring pictures after the lockdown …. no. 3 .... two from Portugal

Now that lockdown has been relaxed, the 2 meters distance might shrink and you can again visit Primax and Top Shop, the new series is launched.

Boring pictures after the lockdown, invites everyone who is out and about to offer up their own photograph.*

The only qualifications are that it should be by you, and be boring.

And quick out of the tracks came Mário, who sent two, adding "Andrew, two pictures to choose: one, from my balcony in Canidelo, Gaia, Portugal, 21st of  June: a lonely elder on cane in his balcony looking down at a post-lockdown closed cafeteria; the other, in the City Park of Porto, 20th: no-access tape round a patch of green under Wisteria".

And unable to decide which to post I decided on both.

Which just leaves everyone else to take part.

Pictures from a backroom, on a moment of self-isolation .....quiet schools ... Oporto ... Portgual

The international side of the series, rolls on with these two fine pictures from Mário Ricca, who commented,

"This is from my balcony door, in Porto, Portugal. 

The building is a closed school, usually busy and noisy.  Its roof is now covered with swallows".

Leaving me just to thank Mario, and add that Mario is a retired teacher, just like me.
