#730 - Monochrome Monday.

Happy New Year once again fellow Hiveans. We are now in the first couple of pages for this year of the wooden dragon. Last midnight we celebrated a simple folding of the year. My wife ordered a few boxes of pizza and lasagna while my mother in law also got fried chicken. They also cooked a couple of viands then we just listened to the fire crackers and fireworks. We didn't go out because there's too much smoke already in the streets and inhaling it could be catastrophic, also our dogs were stressed out during that time. Then in the noon time I went to check back on my parents who are at my uncle's house. They are there staying until my uncle arrives but my mother is somehow ill, her blood pressure has been going up and down her blood laboratory was fine when they went for a checkup yesterday...Also she, my mother, wants to go home already to the province. They plan to go home this weekend like Sunday most likely.

For our daily shots we got here more monochrome shots. I haven't got the time yet to edit color ones because of the recent events going to my parents. I will try to get the colored ones next time. This shot shows a woman wearing mud or dirt boots and she is standing on the busy highway where traffic of vehicles are moving. She is talking to a driver of a jeepney which is a public transport. They seem to be in some sort of a trade of information whatever that is😅.

A person with disability, particularly blindness, is sitting on the side while singing melodic songs. This shot was taken on an overpass. The man is also raising his hand to ask for alms while he is performing his talent as a way go make s living. Lots of people pass by him every minute but in this shot none of them was able to hand over a single coin.

A couple happily strolling the streets of this cold city. They seem to both have smiles in their faces, perhaps talking about something nice and funny. Just like others, the couple also brought with them their umbrella which is a must especially when walking the streets while the sun is nowhere to be found except with the presence of thick fog and clouds.

A blurry shot of two cops with vests making sure that people and vehicles are following the traffic rules. Along with them are some pedestrians also caught in blurry.

The go signal of this traffic light was lit and the people on the overpass where the light is attached to continuesly walk both in each opposite directions.

Follow me on my street travels.
