Reading books is not dead

[RBSinTo]

Taken last summer at Edward's Gardens a large botanical garden and park here in Toronto.
I was just entering the garden grounds when I noticed a young woman sitting on a bench in front of the main building, engrossed in a book that she was reading.
I was attracted both by the scene and the rare sight of a young person engaged in a page and paper book, rather than an electronic device, and grabbed this shot.

A nice capture, not like one scene I observed last week. There were twelve kids, between 15 and !8 years old. They were sitting side by side on steps outside a major Melbourne train station - they all looked at their iphones, no one were talking.
Cheers Ole

Ole,
What you describe is the pandemic that has swept the globe.
Oh. And thanks for commenting.
