October: A Roundup


I write as we await news of the new Lockdown which was leaked to the press yesterday. This was on the horizon, but those feelings of unease and claustraphobia--like last time-- are rather nauseating. The bleak weather this month and the huge workload have been tough. It appears that it'll be tougher still in November with schools still being open and us having to cater for students at home and at school in front of us. It must be done, but there are no additional hours in the day to get the job done.

Taking photos has been tough to fit in around work in October. I used some photos from my folder of photos from across the last few years, including some from Corfe Castle and when it snowed in 2018. 

The dark evenings have started to close in and it has felt dismal. Without the gym, some of us are going to struggle mentally. Today I went for a walk and took lots of photos for the first time in ages. The sun came out which was a nice break from the rain and it was good to get some respite.

We're all living day to day at the moment. That's all that can be done.

A Photo a Day 2020 #301

It's interesting to note how every month seems to have its own unique character and mood. As I've previously stated and as is evident through the lack of commentary with most photos I post recently, I am not enjoying this project at the moment.

This month is categorised by night time shots and the absence of people. It speaks to my mood-- the world's mood at a time when the future seems estranged from us all. I'm working 'hand to mouth' when it comes to photos this month and I've pretty much run out of back up shots from my folder of photos taken over the last few years...
