ups and downs

what a lot of ups and downs these days...Spring is here, but we must stay home...a few gains occur in the virus struggle, then new numbers reveal we are slipping back

the board here is a very old one from Germany, and the game is Leiterspiel, a lot like Snakes and Ladders, but without the snakes

What a fun looking board game. A good way to pass time during these long days of confinement.

It's a good thing I like my house: I'll be in it forever......

what a great find from this old board game, where we go up and down the ladder, excellent analogy with what we are living these days! V

Great shot of this interesting board. I don't think the lack of snakes is a real loss.

Excellent analogy!

Wonderful image of this cool board game! It looks fun to play. Someone should invent the Coronavirus game, but might not be as pleasant.

A great image to show the ups and downs of the current state of the world. Hopefully much more ups than downs soon.

a nice image to show the progress of these days.

What a neat keepsake and useful during these times, not only to play but to photograph. I have also been going around the house and yard to find subjects- shooters should never stop shooting if they can help it.

A good simile

A very good quality image, David. "V"

Very cool to see this old board. The lack of snakes in this game shows clearly what optimists Germans are.

Hank Vander Velde		26-Mar-2020 17:11
Lots of ups and downs indeed. Well casptured and well explained David.
