Description

The UK struggled with Lockdown fatigue during the Covid19 crisis, couples and friends escape their homes to enjoy the warm weather and exercise. Hackneyites respect the social distancing rules, cooling off in the River Lea, Hackney , London UK. Cycling along the canal path through Hackney marshes I happened upon a scene from, I quote, “what heaven might look like“. It felt like a dreamy escape somewhere exotic, but is actually In Hackney! The police moved the majority on who were sunbathing on the banks, but a few returned to the tranquil cool waters of the river Lea, respecting social distances from each other. I hung around just long enough to catch this couple kissing.
