35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
No, not that Hollywood. This is the equally well known* Disco Hollywood in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
I liked this scene because of all the signage on the walls. Not just the Disco Hollywood sign, but the carnisseria, supermarket, and ATM signs too. The lady walked into the frame as I was setting up the shot.
*Not equally well known.

I’ll be posting pictures without commentary while my mental batteries take a break and hopefully recharge. Please feel free to use your imagination to fill in the blanks. 🙂
Normal nonsense will resume shortly…

I wonder how many people attempted to traverse the private road before the owners decided to not only put up a sign, but also furnish the gate with its own custom wrought-iron version as well?
I guess one of the downsides of living in a picturesque tourist town is that you get lots of tourists, some of whom might be somewhat over-reaching in exactly which parts of the town they can explore.
Keep out of this place
It’s not free to be explored
It’s private you know

One of the things I’ve heard mentioned on more than one occasion since this whole thing started – and particularly since the lock-down began – is that this feels like something from an apocalyptic movie.
In many regards though, things are much the same as normal – especially for someone like myself, who worked from home before this started anyway – the spring weather is nice, the air is clear and, if you venture outside, every day feels like you’ve gotten up early before anyone else is out and about, such is the reduction in traffic and pedestrains. It’s quite pleasant really.
And then you see the signs.
Affixed to cemetery gates, and on the noticeboard at the local park.
“STAY AT HOME” they proclaim. Adherence is a requirement to “protect the NHS and save lives”.
And the seriousness of the situation is re-cemented in the forefront of your mind.
Stay safe and keep well everyone.
