Gluhwein, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

This bar on the corner of the market square is normally full on a Saturday lunchtime with shoppers who pause for coffee or after-shoppers who stop for a beer, but now only take-away is possible. The imaginative owner now sells take-away gluhwein to warm the market shoppers at the farmers market, Noordplein, Rotterdam

Hello Elaine,

People have become very inventive to continue trading, in these very stressful times.

Your b&w photograph is absolutely pin-sharp!
Though we have no audio, we can understand the verbal connection between customer and stall holder.

I had to research gluhwein, though I suspected what it might be. What a good idea to warm shoppers and offer them a little cheerfulness!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Elaine,
It's a good street photo showing daily life in Covid days. There are lots of nice details and fine monochrome tones and contrasts, and it's a very sharp photo. Glühwein, here known as 'glögg', is very popular in Sweden too, especially around Christmas, but I doubt that our laws on alcohol would allow any take-away.
Best regards,
Gert

Goedemiddag Elaine,

Gluhwein is een drankje dat heel veel mensen lusten tijdens de koude winter periode.
Maar corona heeft zoveel overhoopgehaald maar misschien zal het vaccin ons redden.
U blijft uw zwart/wit foto's behouden dit is een keuze gemaakt door u zelf.
Maar heerlijk scherp en duidelijk gefotografeerd.
Goed foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John
