The dark, empty streets of home…….Only transited by the wind and mist during the #lockdown.
In order for the light to shine so brightly the darkness must be present
Francis Bacon
We have been on lockdown here in South Africa since the end of March. The virus which was a distant threat, had come to our shores and after that things changed very quickly. I took this photo of the empty Main Road where I live on April 4, 2020, a few days into the lockdown.
I took this photo from our driveway of our once busy Main Road which normally has traffic day and night, and in peak season we can not get into the traffic going into town, we have to get into the oncoming lane and go around the Voëlklip Traffic Circle to double back.
There is only one road that runs through our town, and this is it. Freight, goods, trucks, emergency vehicles and many others, all travel this road to their various destinations.
I was very humbled today to receive an email informing me that my image had been chosen to be a part of a online exhibition called, When you can’t find the words. I will include the link below to the image gallery and the video that was made from the images.
