In many parts of the world, restrictions on movement and travel are gradually being lifted. After weeks of confinement, it is a relief to move about. Even so, travel is not as it was. Here in Canada, trans-border crossings are still closed to non-essential travel and even domestic travel between provinces is discouraged. I look forward to the day when all travel restrictions are removed. Until then, I’m glad to have my archives to remember past trips – when I captured scenes of people in motion, moving or stopped in-transit as they went about their daily lives.
For this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge I ask you to share a photo of people or time IN-TRANSIT.
This can be an old or new photo, showing something or someone in-transit, moving from one state to another. Feel free to interpret this literally or metaphorically. With the fall-out from the pandemic and international anti-racist protests, there’s ample room for interpretation. Major changes feel imminent in the world and our current status seems in-transit to a new normal.
From past travels, here is a sampling of people in transit
For a more interpretative photo, this is a derived image of Canada’s PM at a recent protest in Ottawa. Sometimes silence is a precursor to change in the status quo. One can hope. Link to the news article and original photo here.
I look forward to seeing your photos inspired by the theme IN-TRANSIT
Remember to include a link to this post and a comment below, so that I and others can find your response.
If you’re new to Friendly Friday, full instructions on how to participate can be found here.
This week’s challenge of IN-TRANSIT goes up to Thursday, after which Amanda at StPA will post a new Friendly Friday challenge.

Nice theme and nice photos, Sandy! I love the one of Trudeau (I know you didn’t take that one, but it moved me). And the last color one, with all the mosaics – beautiful!

I like the bottom photo, particularly. Very abstract and painterly. I wonder if we will go back to our busy ways or if there will be changes? Here’s my offering: https://grahamsisland.com/2020/06/12/before-and-after/

My crystal ball says .. our busy lives will resume but it will be a new normal. Give me a quarter and I’ll give you another fortune 😉
Just curious .. which photo did you like particularly ? last color photo (which is also in the feature image) or the B&W one?

The feature photo was the one I was referring to. I thought the Trudeau image was a video at first.

The feature photo is of a subway station in Singapore. It is an overhead shot of the floor mosaic tile work by artist by Milenko Prvacki. He & his wife were commissioned to do a number of pieces in the station which is a massive interchange. i am always impressed with fine art in public spaces. Glad you liked the shot!
