This photograph was made on a typical day – January 16, 2020; it could have been created centuries ago in Venice, Italy.
A timeless moment captured of a carefree life of laundry drying in the breeze before the Pandemic hit. The sight of this image brings hope that one day we will appreciate this small scene once again. An important lesson learned during this time is to never take for granted life’s little pleasures.
