Face mask is mandatory !, a photo from Aquitaine, West

Photographer's Note

As in all cities, the streets of Bordeaux are decorated with illuminations but among the garlands, we can read the important message intended for pedestrians: "Face mask is mandatory !"
So it is in this year with this sad period when the Covid 19 is still circulating ...

Bonjour Jean,
great blue hour reportage from the town enjoying the festive season while wearing masks. Let's hope this is something characteristic to 2020, and a bit of 2021 but nt much further beyond.
I see people are not afraid at all. With the main street filled with pedestrians.
Nice decorations well captured,
M

Hello Jean,
The streets are beautifully decorated and illuminated, just like any other year at this time, so the warnings to wear face masks is an unpleasant reminder that this is not an ordinary year. I still think that avoiding crowds is more important than wearing masks, and the lower view looks uncomfortably crowded. I would not have liked to be there.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Jean,

Nice photo showing the Christmas atmosphere in the French city of Bordeaux. Really the question of masks and other restrictions is already taking the patience of many people. But if all goes well, later this year our lives should return to normal.

A great 2021 for you. Greetings from Brazil

Hello Jean,
Although the X-mas-lighting in our cities is not lacking this year, the atmosphere is not as it usually is around Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Less activity and everyone covered with a mouth cap, but also with hope for a better 2021.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Bonjour Jean,

Tu as bien capturé une scčne de la vie quotidienne. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails des immeubles et des personnes qui portent le masque. La lumičre de l'heure bleue a un effet spécial sur les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

Bonjour Jean,

With this new N501Y strain from Kent in the UK that spreads 70% more readily, it's more important than ever to avoid a 3rd wave and for everyone to wear masks. Wonderful Christmas decorations with excellent colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Royaldevon (76832) 2020-12-29 6:38

Hello jean,

The banners hold an important message, for this new variant seems to be spreading rapidly and can do so more easily in a city, where people are naturally pressed closer together. However, as a banner, mixed in with the suspended street illuminations, it is obvious but fits in with the seasonal decorations.

You have shown us two very well exposed Christmas streets, taken at the blue hour, and each taking advantage of the long perspective, to guide us irresistibly towards the b/g.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jean.
Two streets that display the Christmas decorations, the first seems to meet the required standards in terms of people, while the second is seen with many people that is not desired.
Well seen and done. I like it.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Jean,
It is still quite crowded with people in the street. The Christmas decorations look very nice and festive and I like the golden tones combined with the deep blue sky.

Bonsoir Jean,

I think that 2020 so long I shall live, depth shall are in me thought, but maybe becomes 2021 better through our vaccins.
Two nice pictures with a message.
Colours and sharpness are excellent.
Very well done, TFS.

Bonne soirée,
John.

Bonjour Jean,
La męme rčgle s'applique aussi dans nos villes et partout oů de nombreuses personnes se rassemblent. Il y a vraiment beaucoup de monde dans la rue sur la photo du bas.
Malgré le problčme du COVID, l'ambiance semble ętre festive.
De beaux contrastes de couleurs durant cette heure bleue.
Amicalement, Paul

jean113 (22657) 2020-12-29 11:47

Bonjour Jean, two excellent pictures taken in the blue hour.
The decorations are very attractive.
The green arrow and 'no entry' sign indicating which side of the path should be walked, I presume.
Not a lot of social distancing in the lower shot!
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Jean, Good reportage of these difficult times with the coronavirus. Beautiful blue hour picture. Nice narrow pedestrian street nicely decorated.
Best regards MAlgo

Hi Jean
We can't tell whether most of these people are wearing their masks as only a few are facing away from you. A good pair of night time Christmas photos.
cheers
Ian

everlasting (18130) 2020-12-30 4:12

even with facemarks I would think that there are too many people here in this street. A well documented image of our time

dekanski (7857) 2020-12-30 4:57

What an unusual Christmas decoration!

jmdias (103992) 2021-01-02 12:21

Hi Jean
It's delicious seasonal festive images beautifully organised and captured in wonderful illumination and colours. There's abound of detail under low light and lively with the crowd hook the eye firmly! Also a reminder that this is covid-19 era with an unfortunate sign of the times....
Wonderful combo and tfs
Best regards
