[Leica] Closed Parc - Don

Wed May 13 04:38:37 PDT 2020

Parks, and Parks :-)

Barcelons is known to have wild-boars around.

Closing the gates prevents them from investing the nearly deserted places and spreading hepatitis through the community on top of COVID19, mostly to the kids playing in these parks.

That might another of the reasons why. But who am I to guess …

Amities

Philippe, semi-confined and surrounded by wild-boars, cf infra  :-)
