Postcards from the Lockdown: Rainbows and Salutes

Image
Day 5 of the lockdown. People seem to adjust and accept the current situation and the atmosphere has slightly calmed down in anticipation for the next big update. Boris Johnson has been announced as infected with the virus yesterday, which is another confirmation of a common truth, in words of sociologist William Davies: " Save for whichever bunkers and islands the super-rich are hiding in, this epidemic does not discriminate on the basis of economic geography.

St George's Centre Crane

It's St George... again, it must be dest0ny, he deserves a credit. Saint George was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier from Syria Palaestina and a priest in the Guard of Diocletian, who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic (Western and Eastern Rites), Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. His memorial is celebrated on 23 April, and he is regarded as one of the most prominent military saints. This building/crane is located in Canterbury, not very high, but with the lovely view on the Canterbury Cathedral, the building will be used for student housing when completed in 2012. It was.. very foggy.

Fast explore, quite easy entry, lots of pigeons :) history: St. Mildred’s Tannery was established in 1860 preparing and tanning imported hides. From 1988 it concentrated on the dressing, softening and dying of hides. The tannery closed in the early 2000's and has now moved its centre of operations to an industrial estate in Thanet.
