Hive Philippines Street Photography #275 - by Allmonitors

#275 - A wonderful day once again my fellow Hiveans. The market somehow recovered a bit and did not continue its downtrend, whew! What a relief.😁

Today, I would like to share some street photos in colors taken in Marikina City during this pandemic crisis where people wear masks and face shields to cover our faces and make sure we are safe from inhaling any particles which may have come from those who a positive with the virus.

Our first shot is right at a pedestrian 🚸 crossing where three ladies who just came from the market are trying to cross. But they have to wait first for the incoming bikes to pass before they can proceed.

Behind them is a small fish stall that sells fresh and salt water fish like tilapias and galunggong and more. One of the buyers is a man who brought his dog which is a shihtzu breed. He holds the dog in his right arm while making a purchase.😁

This next shot shows a group of people walking together going to the same direction. The two in front holding ecobags may have just came from the market. The last one behind is not wearing his protective mask properly while the other three are fine.

Everywhere you look in any part of this city, there will always be motorcycles which is one of the cheapest vehicle to get so you can skip the lines riding public transportation. Plus, the motorcycle is also maneuverable hence they can easily pass through even if the traffic is heavy. But not all of the motorcycle drivers are disciplined and some does not follow traffic rules which is why the most common accidents recorded daily are from the group of motorcycle riders. Stay safe riders!

This last shot shows an old man just standing in the street staring at something out of nowhere. He has been like this and always see him from time to time. He lives in the streets and has lost his sanity. I don't think he still has some families around but if he does, they might have forgotten him and just let him roams the streets. He could have the virus already as an asymptomatic carrier who knows.
