I’ve not been doing much photography in the last few weeks; probably just fedup with all the restrictions we seem to have had placed upon us.
Although one bonus is that I have been reading a lot and listening to music on my headphones.
Here is a book that was sent to me by my daughter, a completely unknown authour. ‘Amor Towles‘ who published a novel in 2016 with the title A Gentleman in Moscow .

“The principle here is that a new generation owes a measure of thanks to every member of the previous generation. Our elders planted fields and fought in wars; they advanced the arts and sciences, and generally made sacrifices on our behalf. So by their efforts, however humble, they have earned a measure of our gratitude and respect.”
“For as it turns out, one can revisit the past quite pleasantly, as long as one does so expecting nearly every aspect of it to have changed.”

[gotw}
It’s a beautifully written book and well worth giving it a try.
Thank you so much for introducing this interesting work with us …
I think, one good thing about the lock down is books are back in limelight again, may be quite an unexpected turn of events during this digital era.
Even, my photography experiments are now confined to macros due to limited mobility options but I could read some interesting books too.
The one I am reading now is, ‘The Silk Roads’ a new history of the world.
Have a great day 🙂
I hope you manage to read and enjoy it.
There is something comforting about sitting with a good book and being able to forget the trials and tribulations of the world.
We have lost so many good traditional bookshops here in UK, so I hope you’re right.
A P.S.
Just looked for the book you’re reading, looks very interesting and gets some good reviews.
Will add it to my list, many thanks.
