Friday's Focus - 2020/03/27 - Social Distancing

[JimFox]

Our Focus this Friday is on Social Distancing in Landscapes.

So that means a Landscape photo that includes 1 person at least or an object that indicates habitation. I didn't think I was influenced in this choice by Sunny's recent thread, but perhaps I was...

So add your Social Distancing Landscapes to this thread.

I will start with one from Huntington Beach.

I usually try and avoid humans in my landscape images but I have 2 where I deliberately included them. Firstly from Galicia in North West Spain, this is a real isolation image as she was alone on a vast beach (8 miles) where we saw 4 people in the entire morning that we spent there.

This image from a wood in Cumbria with my wife in the perfect spot. Ken

I have just found this one. There are 2 people in very close contact in the shot but I am assuming that they are from the same household so are obeying the social isolation rules. Ken

I assiduously try to avoid people in my landscapes shots. Here is one I could find....

Seems ironic we call it social distancing when reality is closer to anti-social distancing

[Travis Rhoads]

This is my kind of social distancing.

Here is my version of Social distancing, out on the White Rim Trail

 

[Kyle Jones]

My daughter off in the distance. My wife was upset when she saw this picture that I let her get this far away from me. "What could possibly have happened to her?" was my response...

Excellent images Ken!

I keep trying to get away but this guy keeps shadowing me!

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I don't have any images of others far off in the distance but I thought I would add this one to the group. This is in a very remote area of the Navajo Reservation and there is no one else around: not anyone including the Native Americans that live here. There was a nasty windstorm the day before and you can still see the brown haze of dust hanging in the air.

 

[Jim Dockery]

I found myself really getting into tiny figures in the distance on our recent trip to the desert. I intend to do a separate post on that but will include two from Death Valley here.

I was definitely keeping my social distance there.

This is from last summer on a plateau near Grenoble, France. I spotted another hiker up on the summit and put him in the frame for this pano.

Living in Keeler California is social distancing every day of your life. If that ain't enough, head on down the road into the nothingness.....

 

[Luvwine]

I like this better than my earlier entry. From this evening's sunset.....
