Wednesday Walk - A SHORT COVID-19 REPORT FROM MY HOMETOWN
This is a short morning walk through a changed world that really looks like something seen only in the movies till now. 
<a href="https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQQC4raZAhZ67PLK11vPkSUuVMJfbPEs4j4jzd6jWNMKc/IMG_1614%20IZHOSHTRENO.jpg"><img

It looks like that ... but it feels completely different. People are nice, well-mannered, no signs of panic nor weird, twisted ideas or behaviors you usually see in those movie dramatizations, the town its doing its best to retain the good spirit in a dramatically new circumstances. The movements are restricted, the public transport temporarily abolished, there is no possibility to go to the city or neighboring villages without appropriate permits.
And there are masks and gloves :) and that's a saving grace for the photographic aspect of this post. Without those items, this will look just like an ordinary early morning scene in front of the supermarket out of tourist season.
![IMG_1619 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQYrxe5xjr5TDCyC3XF5PvKxpZrvfCWuKZekvAPnoNdTn/IMG_1619%20malo.jpg)
And this was my first big concern when I decided to take a walk to buy a few things for me and some neighbors, and take a few shots for the Wednesday walk. How to convey the desolate atmosphere in a place that is rarely crowded in this part of the year. Look these boats in the port ad example, this looks like an ordinary shot that could have been taken any day in the last 20 years.
![IMG_1616 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXX2eM1vQDXPGftJi3iBF6HfR8zxBsM72GSFoh8kP4gtG/IMG_1616%20malo.jpg)
This building also looks pretty ordinary, there is even a person on bicycle passing by in the left corner of the picture, to add a bit of life and action to the scene. But ... if you know this place, you'll be surprised to see no cars and many bicycles parked around. This is a cafΓ© bar and restaurant in the port, very near to those boats on the previous photograph, where the fisherman and other locals, mostly older people, come together to talk, drink and play Briscola and Tressette, the most popular and highly regarded card games in this area. There were even tournaments in those games held in this place called Mizerija (which means  misery, of course) where you could win home made prosciutto ham, sausages and salted sardines.
![IMG_1617 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfFx8W3nY8Yi3u1fQmiGgHhyKUMj1syu2v6mND2RjtFDY/IMG_1617%20malo.jpg)
Here is another calming look at some larger boats on the main pier for fishing and excursion vessels.
![IMG_1620 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWLDQQ1C7Ehy2SBM5uzGC6vAjdpDa7rAeC98w44o1igkz/IMG_1620%20malo.jpg)
A bit further, on the way to the supermarket, there is a recreation area with some Outdoor Basketball fields ...
![IMG_1630 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcogBFKSfYPWTHKdaFP9RqfTaECfdbbyr2MDD4AtLp5py/IMG_1630%20malo.jpg)
... and here you can see another clue to the epidemic situation ...
![IMG_1623 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPue2zdTbmbCdLt4y4Tu6T1sxxNpes21ouLgedUuP8KQC/IMG_1623%20malo.jpg)
... the barricade tape, swinging like a colorful snake on the cold, dry northern wind that relentlessly blows these days.
![IMG_1621 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmd572vZR94B74dDBc7NMEkGVtLwqBshDaTka3SpXsQtA9/IMG_1621%20malo.jpg)
There is also a written reminder to the new rules of social interactions.
![IMG_1634 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWrrDwyRkq1fXfMM9ZqUK8VfwEWd7s9MHCVib5vBvF2LL/IMG_1634%20malo.jpg)
Another look at another area ... about 100 meters from there ...and then ...
![IMG_1613 maloSAMO.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaVDMfQFE1x4H1zV29svDwNSor9aSY4MKrVysd15uja6s/IMG_1613%20maloSAMO.jpg)
... back to the supermarket ...
![IMG_1611maloSAMO.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYdihLKSVT87ZKavznvgCLRTbtUzKYNTL8k4Tj4puJcWu/IMG_1611maloSAMO.jpg)
... and the pretty deserted parking lot ...
![IMG_1610 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXbWpcQKcxttkboufvdc3ZLgu49pRa27LBY6YHgcjwt64/IMG_1610%20malo.jpg)
... people will enter one by one and take a ticket with  number from a guard at the entrance, disinfect the hands and on exit give back the number. And now ...
![IMG_1615 malo.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUVn6RScAesaZjkn2HMTGWgh67NG4sxGpXmqmE6YGF1Wb/IMG_1615%20malo.jpg)
... with the closing shot inside the supermarket, around the fruits & vegetables stand, is time to end this little walk inside the quarantine perimeter. Have a good day ... or night ... and a lot of good luck ... wherever on the planet you are.

Hi @borjan,
Of course buying for your neighbors...and those lovely cats.  Thank you for the tour.  I haven't been out of the house for many, many days, but it is comfortable here.  
Be well.  Maybe we'll all be here in a few months, when this emergency has passed.
:)

I can’t understand why when I vote, karma is taken away from posts, as if I’m downvote???
So far, abstain from voting, but the post is very good!

No, no ... vote freely ... it's not taken away ... when you vote you always add some value, but the price of HIVE or Steem can vary from day to day, from moment to moment, when you vote the balance of the post is updating, and if the value of HIVE decreases it will look like a downvote - but is not ... don't worry.
