The day before Lockdown (112 days) ended in Melbourne. This is the main northern end of the Royal Arcade where it opens on to the pedestrian-only shopping area and main department stores of Bourke Street.
Hairdressers and the 5km close-to-home limit had been lifted the week before, hence me being in the city for a haircut. Only a minute to take the shot before the lone figure moved on and my appointment were due.
I was surprised at the number of people around on this day compared to the empty ghost-town like images on the TV news some weeks before, but I suppose there were people living in city apartments who had ventured outdoors for a walk.
