The covid lockdown (possibly ending[again] tomorrow at midnight [2pm Tuesday UTC])
has me stir crazy.

The only reason I can justify shooting the photo below is to test Capture One
freshly installed on my new (to me) Yoga laptop with its 3840 x 2160 display...

Anyway at least the image can give you an idea of how my world appears
looking Looking WNW Through Front Yard well into winter about a month after our shortest day... as the sun heads toward the horizon to set just before 5:30 Australian Eastern Standard Time... UTC plus 10 hours.

Thanks.

No MP...

we are allowed to travel a 5km radius from home as long as
it's to get essential supplies like food, to get medicine/medical help
and exercise.
Signing into the grocery store with contact details for tracking are
also mandatory, Face masks are mandatory too.

Senior government sources say schools are set to reopen from Wednesday
Masks will remain mandatory indoors and outdoors and visitors to the home will remain off-limits
Authorities and cabinet will meet again on Tuesday morning to finalise the rules.

Victoria's Minister for Health Martin Foley*** told a press conference on Monday that public health officials and the government had taken "some comfort" from the fact that over the weekend, the 22 locally acquired cases had all been quarantined while infectious.

"But it is still 22 cases," he said.

"And when you reflect on where we've been over the journey of these last 18 months as we've dealt with reopening from outbreaks, 22 cases over two days is a significant figure.

***Martin Foley is as sharp as a well honed bayonet which
makes him a shining beacon of brilliance in a state government
which is a thinly disguised organised crime syndicate imho.
It's heart warming to know Martin Foley and few others like him
are part of this states government.

It's largely his very uncommon common sense that has kept the spread
of Covid down to manageable levels in this state I reckon.

Thanks again for your kind words about my picture.
It pleases my eye a bit too.

It's just a subjective observation, but I reckon
the little Fujifilm X-E3 has an extraordinary dynamic range,
which you probably agree is a photographic holy grail and helps
this picture no end.

Thank you John.
