It is not often the world is so quiet. One could easily mistake the peace for calm if one did not know better. Every corner of every city is silent, sleeping, waiting to awake from an uneasy, long sleep. As the world waits to emerge from the Coronavirus pandemic that has hit over 185 different countries I thought I would share you with some of the most outstanding photographs from around the globe, and what it looks like when the world holds its breath… and waits.

As the world holds its breath and waits, I am reminded of something my father always said to me in times of stress and uncertainty, “this too shall pass. So while I wait I will do my best to see my world through a new lens, and know how unbelievably fortunate I am, that even in the dark, there is always light. Sometimes you just need to know where to look for it.
