This picture has little to do with what we are concerned with today except that it has a soothing quality. I have forgotten the details but it was taken in the Midwest probably in the early 1980s. (My filing system from that period will never be held up as an example of how to keep track of ones photographs.)

But I wanted to tell you about something worth reading from the BBC website to do with Greek history, plagues and Boris Johnson, if you have not already read it. I have neither a picture taken in Greece, nor one of the present plague, nor one of B. Johnson, but this picture does at least have the look of isolation about it.
