Here's another view taken from an almost opposite angle. Not as succesful as the other one
Uncomfortable for some men.
I thought it was a clever image and a play on words that highlighted the present crisis the world is passing through. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Christmas.
Please don't politicise it so that it gets moved to the Attic as happened to one of my recent posts.
Why would an empty stable be more current? The comment is not about Christmas. The deserted Last Supper is a comment about groups not assemblng due to COVID-19. Is that not current?
This very bad image was sent to me by a friend in Spain but it's still recognisable. "Cancelada" means "Cancelled".
I get these EVERY day:

Well, here's the same subject, taken at almost the same time but the following day, but this time with my faithful Canon P&S. It's surprising how well the iPhone stands up against the competition.
Thank you Ourspolair and joecichjr for your kind comments. I'm surprised that the shot came out as well as it did but I really must try with a proper camera one of these days.
I'm not obsessd with taking shots with my iPhone but it's all I had on me this morning on my way to an appointment. I took this shot at about 09.30. For those who don't know it, St. Pancras station and hotel was designed by William Henry Barlow and opened in 1868. The roof of the station was in its time, the largest of its kind in the world with a span of 245 ft 6 in (74.83 m). The hotel, originally the Grand Midland is now the Renaissance Hotel and is built in the splendor of the Victorian Gothic
I think a little cropping makes a better picture
A quick snap taken with an iPhone10.
Lyrics:
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother
has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Dear Mr. President
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We're not dumb and we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
While you paved the road to hell
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
How do you dream when a mother
has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Let me tell you bout hard work
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don't know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you sleep at night
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?
It doesn't need to be moved, it needs to be deleted
This has gone completelty off topic. My original post was an attempt at gentle, ironic humour and suddenly it has become political.
