Subdued


This is a truly glorious sunrise but when the B&W filter is on, it's subdued. This is what lockdown is. We can still do a lot of the important things in life but they're subdued.

Emotionally we are carrying a weight that seems to hold us back from normal exhuberence.


I guess we have to remember we are viewing the world through a dull filter at the moment, and hold tight to our memories of the original image and the promise that it will return.

Stay safe and stay home everyone. We need to get back to the fun stuff!

  2. In the same boat... doesn't seem that we'll be getting out of it anytime soon. Photography helps though!

  8. Excellent metaphor!
    From time to time, however, a "new wave" is announced and the filter is put on us again, until we forget the original ...

    1. Thanks for that. I was so chuffed when I say the post. I can't add the feature badge (or the link up badge) for some reasons. My blog seems a bit temperamental when it comes to badges...

  13. That's really profound what you said about viewing the world through a dull filter. I think it's down to our personal perspective, we all definitely see things in our own way. #KCACOLS

  14. This latest peak has really got me discouraged and it really does feel like looking at things through a filter. Good reminder that eventually we should get our color back #KCACOLS

  17. It's a good analogy, about life in lockdown being a subdued and not as colourful version of what life should be like. I hope you are out of your latest lockdown by now, and that it will be the last. Life should be lived, not just survived... Thanks so much for linking p with #KCACOLS! x
