Photo-Journal of the Plague Year, Chapter two

 

 

 

Dark out a lot of the time

streets nearly empty

 



 


The end of a haunted year draws near



 


 One walks alone and avoids others

 

 


 

 

 Downtown Berkeley is particularly deserted and grim

 

 

 


Ominous vibrations abound everywhere






 A crow visits me for walnuts


 

 

 


 Signs of life on my nightly walk

 

 


Thankful for a steady abundance of festive herbs





True love found a way

 

 

Nightlife continued in the street




All was not so morbid

 

 

We were able to oust the louse


People came out of hiding

 

 


Not to paint an overly rosy picture

Times remained extremely hard for many

 

 

Self-Isolation never ends

 

 


Too much time indoors

 



 Trying not to let oneself go




Rain came at last



Another lonely Christmas




On Solstice

Beautiful star some took for Bethlehem



Holiday lights spite the shuttered eateries

in another blanket shutdown



And yet small signs of the world's return



Did I mention Cannabis?




So one stayed at home and was jolly

Should old sentiments be forgot

At the end of 2020 

the annus horribilis 

extraordinaire







October -December 2020



The plague year extends into 2021

in a post soon to follow
