Under Siege! - #2 on explore - a photo on Flickriver

            To celebrate Spring’s arrival I went to my chest, trying to find something that would represent an happier season and that would help ilifting our somber mood. 

On that errand I’ve found this shot of my preferred beach – “Praia da Ursa” (“Bear Beach”) that I decided to metaphorically title “Under Siege”, as when I took it I was literally surrounded, just as we are today, although by then the seawater looked as a slightly more benign enemy than the one surrounding us these days... But, as I had to face the mighty sea and survived 😎, so we will in winning this battle and crushing the virus! 
 
Be well and have an excellent weekend, my friends!
