2020 The beginnings
There were only rumours that a new infectious disease came to world. Asia already had cities in lockdown, but we were just getting started with 2020. The new year is coming, a lot of things to do, big plans and the year you were going to do that one thing. COVID-19? Well the names mentions it no? That's from last year and its very far away from here.
March 2020:Â Where is everybody?
It is nice and awkward at the same time to see the city you're living in turning in to a ghost town. But almost empty streets have the advantage that one can go out and make pictures.

July 2020: A little bit back to normal
The covid restrictions are reduced bit by bit, we're going "back" to the "new normal". Meaning a normal where masks are a new trendy thing to have and social distancing is a thing. But thank God, we can meet people in again. Finally a little bit back to normal. Yes just a little bit as we are now getting ready for the second wave. It is not the question anymore if that will come, but more when it will come. So time to get out and see those we care about, now we can.
Going for a walk it works as a therapy, especially accompanied by my cameras. Never mind, one of these nice places to do is discovering your own city as a tourist. Stuttgart has the Grabkapelle as one of these places. A mausoleum erected to honour the memory of the queen Catherine Pavlovna of Russia, the wife of King William I of Württemberg.
