For World Photography Day, I wanted to capture something that summarised some of the changes that Covid has brought - fewer shops due to less people out & about as well as the shift to online. If I could somehow include the cuts to public services after 10 years of austerity that would be a bonus.

While it's not a great photo, it does just about meet my requirements.

A good capture of reality it's the same everywhere, the other thing that is a problem for town centres if they can't park within a few feet of the shop they won't go.

Thanks. Plenty of parking here - just not enough reason for people to go

It looks so abandoned and deserted, unfortunately a testimony of our time - so, it's a good contribution for that special day.

Thanks - Currys next door is still open, but not really contributing much animation

Definitely a sign of the times; I do hope normal arrives again sometime soon, but I fear this will be our "normal" for a long time to come!

In another sign of the times, this one is to be demolished to make way for an Aldi discount supermarket

This does indeed show off what you were wanting to say for World Photography Day. Even the dull light adds to the statement.

Is this near you? Or did you travel special, remembering it would work for your concept?

Thanks! This is in town, so just went for a stroll after work. I had it in mind and just hoped I could get something.

Nice - I rarely pre-plan my photographs. It's nice that it worked out for you.
