Reflection Hunters Contest Round 168
Yesterday, Sunday, I went to a well-known shopping mall near my home, not with the purpose of buying something specific but to walk around and distract myself for a while, trying to forget that I have my car in the workshop and I still don't know when to use it again.
In the last century, shopping malls became the great showcases to display products, as well as places of entertainment for all families due to the diversity of options they offer to their visitors, including cinemas, theaters, playgrounds or bowling alleys, not to mention the wide gastronomic offer they have, much of it in fast food format.
Currently, the massification of online shopping has affected this business model, because there are people who prefer to buy products from the comfort of their home or workplace.
During the time I was there, I could observe the reflections that were formed in the store windows: children, young people and adults, who like me, were casually strolling the aisles on a hot Sunday afternoon.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Ayer Domingo, acudí a un conocido centro comercial cercano a casa, no con la finalidad de comprar algo en específico sinó para pasear y distraerme un rato, procurando olvidar que tengo mi carro en el taller y aún no sé cuando disponer de él nuevamente.
En el pasado siglo, Los centros comerciales se convirtieron en las grandes vitrinas para exhibir productos, además de constituirse en lugares de entretenimiento para todas las familias por la diversidad de opciones que ofrecen a sus visitantes, entre los que se incluyen cines, teatros, parques infantiles o canchas de bowling, sin olvidar mencionar la amplia oferta gastronómica con la que cuentan, mucha de ella en formato fast food.
En la actualidad, la masificación de las compras online, han afectado este modelo de negocio, porque existen personas que prefieren adquirir productos desde la comodidad de su hogar o lugar de trabajo.*
Durante el tiempo que permanecí allí, pude observar los reflejos que se formaban en las vitrinas de las tiendas: niños, jóvenes y adultos, que al igual que yo, recorrían despreocupadamente los pasillos en una calurosa tarde de Domingo.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
This is my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest. This is an initiative of @olgavita. I hope you enjoy it.
