Sunday morning bike ride with my family chasing newly/temporarily-closed borders around the Canton of Geneva during Covid19 pandemic. France & Switz are both in the Schengen area: these are usually open to people. Fascinating ad hoc use of different material. (#Bardonnex, #Soral)

https://i.imgur.com/xsTEeoX.jpg We chased closed borders on bicycles for three hours, starting early. Luckily, in Switzerland, we are allowed to exercise outside in family groups as long as we maintain distance to others. On the other side, in France, people are more tightly policed & controlled (Soral)

So many personal stories hidden in these geopolitical traces. Geography & history in the making: experiences & sights to remember (the best type of ’homeschooling’)...
