Rules are Rules, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

The shops may well be open once again but entering is not as easy as it once was. A list of rules must be adhered to and a limited number of persons per sq meter means queues are often long outside popular shops. A shopping trip to the center of Rotterdam could now easily take up an entire day and most of that time queuing.- which I might add the Dutch are not so good at.

Hi Elaine,unfortunately I know the rules very well and even for us bartenders it is still difficult, I have lost count of all the signs and procedures that I had to follow. Here the shops are open, but not the shopping centers on weekends. Thank you for paying attention to this topic with your latest posts always very interesting. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano.

Hello Elaine!

Daring.
By converting into black and white.
Would have been trivial if you hadn't, but this is just fine.

Regards from Rhineland (upstream...)

Goedenavond Elaine,

Ja ook in Belgi� are de regel streng voor het shoppen.
Maar er zijn nieuwe regels op komst dat ons toelaat met meerdere mensen san te shoppen.
Ook te terrassen zijn sinds het weekend weer open onder strenge voorwaarden, maar Belgi� telt 25.000 doden op 11 mlj mensen.
Dus uw foto is geen overbodig aangeven van de noodzaak voorzichtig te zijn
Nochtans ik ben volledig gevaccineerd, maar blijf masker dragen in het publiek
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Elaine
Sounds like similar rules that we had during our lock down - fortunately here long since relaxed.
A good COVID photo with the masks, sanitizer and rules. Excellent B&W with perfect contrast.
cheers
Ian

Hello Elaine
The girl looks beautiful despite the mask.
Monochrome works well.

Hi Elaine

Good sharpness and tonal range in this superb b&w shot of the reality of shopping during a pandemic. Here some places were not accepting cash, card only. Tfs!

Hallo Elaine,
Grappig dat je schrijft dat Nederlanders niet goed zijn in het in de rij staan.
Ik zou denken mensen in Belgi� daarin nog minder goed.
Ik heb ooit landen bezocht waarin het in de rij je beurt afwachten heel netjes opgevolgd werd. Iran is zo'n land.
Mooie foto met een goede belichting. Helder en scherp.
Vele groeten, Paul
