Flickr, you need to hurry up and deal with the ongoing issue for some people of views and stats - people are not impressed one bit at views disappearing (sometimes, tens of thousands at a time) and the continuing, steady drop in daily views. For one thing, are photos being seen when posted? Just lost about another 11,000 views today and again this evening!! It is a case of one step forward, two steps back. Also, the only way to see the view number under each photo is to keep pressing the Refresh key until it updates. The first I knew of this issue was on 29 July, when I read someone's comment and I discovered that I had lost 99,454 views on my photos.
7 August 2020: our temperature at 1:00 pm is 12C (windchill 11C) and partly cloudy. What a welcome change from the last week of high heat. Sunrise is at 6:12 am and sunset is at 9:10 pm.
Yesterday, 6 August 2020, was yet another day of very hot weather, which meant that I needed to get out of my very uncomfortably warm home for a few hours. My plan was to drive some familiar roads SE of Calgary and then continue further into unknown territory. My hope was to come across a few old barns that I had never seen before, and it was a successful day. I was so thrilled to discover this beautiful old barn by chance. The comparatively new stairs looked rather out of place.
Leaving home around 9:30 am (as usual, later than hoped), a lot of my driving was on highways in order to give me more time at the furthest parts of my drive. Eventually got back home at 5:40 pm., which included a very quick stop closer to home at the Saskatoon Farm to get a meal. A solo drive of 326 km, keeping well away from other people, except for stopping to chat with a lady who owns one of the barns I always like to photograph (from the road). We have bumped into each other three or four times that I have been in that area.
This morning, I was reading a very disappointing notice from the Saskatoon Farm. Apparently, too many visitors are totally ignoring the health regulations - no mask, no social-distancing. If you do wear a disposable mask, don't just drop it on the ground when you leave, either. What is wrong with people?? Please put the safety of others before your own selfishness! It would be such a sad thing if ignorant people could end up causing the Farm to have to close to visitors during these difficult times.
