Cherry blossoms during Covid-19. The blossoms were out, the people were not.
I had not intended to see the cherry blossoms this time because of Covid-19 but the weather was great. I decided to avoid the crowds and see them at West Potomac Park (Hains Point) instead of the main Tidal Basin but WPP was closed and, as I was forced to circle around, I realized no one was doing the Tidal Basin for the reasons I had skipped them. So I went.
There were maybe 400 people around the entire Basin circuit. Normally I struggle to take pictures without people in them. This year, I deliberately tried in some of the photos to have people to photograph. |
