Golden Arches, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

Continuing this mini series of life in Rotterdam during the November lockdown. Only take-away from the Golden Arches is possible at this moment and you cannot eat directly outside. Keeps the city clean as well.

For those who asked, during the November lockdown, non-essential shops were open as were hairdressers and beauticians, since mid December all have closed under a total lockdown and this was increased last night until at least 9 February.

Hi Elaine.An interesting post about the lockdown in the Netherlands. A long extension as I can read in your notes, while here in Italy we continue to open and close according to the data on infections and each region moves accordingly. Unfortunately my region is the worst and my bar is still closed and will be for many more days. A perfect photo to talk about this theme in your classic black and white style. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

Hello Elaine, this observation shows the unusual times that we are living through. Normally the take away would be humming with people, but here there are more workers than customers.
I like the b/w presentation, super sharp.
Thanks for the information.
Kind regards,
Jean.

Hallo Elaine,

België is wat strenger dan Nederland qua lockdown
Vandaag is alles terug verlengt naar 1 maart, dus geen kappers of andere schoonheid zaken, het haar mag groeien.
Bijna alles kan online besteld worden en take away.
We zien duidelijk aanduidingen voor corona tegen te gaan
Misschien past uw zwart/wit foto als treurig moment in ons leven
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John

Hi Elaine,
This is actually very good presentation of present day. Nothing like colour and joyfulness of usual McDonalds ads. Instead this shows well how the business has been optimized for take away sales and keeping social distance. Here in Finland we had take-away only rules in April and May, but since then have been able to live more relaxed way.

Hallo Elaine,
Een goede foto van dit filiaal van de Gouden M. Binnen en buiten lopen mooi in elkaar over, ook dankzij de spiegelingen in het glas.

Hi Elaine.

I think I would prefer some Dutch Gouda, Edam, or Maasdam cheese and cuisine than MacDonalds, and I hope that authorities get the virus under control and the vaccine is useful. A good daily life scene from Holland / Nederlands. Tfs!
