#52frames_shootfromabove brought me to the top of a local parking garage, where I captured this image of the sun bouncing off the windows onto the alley below.
In the airport near a bunch of young women all wearing next to nothing, thinking about how people used to sort of dress up for travel and really hoping that in 15 years they won’t be telling someone how women were once able to wear shorts and tank tops in public. #handmaids #religiouswrongs #women

Nope, nothing odd or concerning here…just a typical day in a former democracy.
