Needless to say, there’re many people here who’re simply walking about, looking at the exhibits.

_MG_1782 640

They’re fascinating.

_MG_1789 640

I’ve come to think of this place as a temporary museum of sorts.

_MG_1792 640

There’s no shortage of onlookers.

_MG_1794 640

And it sets us thinking.

About what it would take before people take to the streets.

People are waiting.

People are reading.

Elegance is an attitude.

Attitude.

_MG_1825 640

Attitude.

_MG_1835 640

Ever ready attitude.

A beautiful umbrella – one of many.

There’re always reminders of how this might end.

Thanks for reading!
