 A person riding a small green bike is wearing a white hoodie, blue jeans, black sneakers, a navy blue baseball cap, and a bright red DoorDash food delivery backpack. Their blue surgical face mask is pulled down to their chin and they’re holding out a thumbs up. In the background are two people conversing by a bench, trees, a fire hydrant and crossing pedestrians.

 A window display in a retail store. There is a white steel rack holding packages of clothing with photos of women on the front. There is a neon light installation shaped like a red rose next to the rack of products. There is white vinyl lettering on the window that reads “Model Express” with the store logo underneath.

 A person wearing blue shorts, a grey t-shirt, a black helmet, and a black backpack is riding a skateboard on the road into Vancouver’s Chinatown. A marble statue of a guardian lion at the gates of Chinatown is in the foreground of the photo.

 Photo of a pedestrian with long silver hair wearing a black shirt and pants carrying two bags walking towards the camera. Behind them is another person wearing a face mask, sunglasses, and a cargo vest walking towards the camera. The awnings of shops with Chinese text on them along the block can be seen in the distance on the right. Red street lamps line the streets.

 A crosswalk with two people walking their dogs across the street stopping to talk. BEhind them is a ramp leading up to CRAB park and blue street lamps. In the background is a light blue sky with wispy clouds sweeping across the horizon.

 A blue, yellow, and white train on the train tracks is stopped next to a red building. Next to the front of the train is a concrete wall and metal fence. Behind the fence is a grass area where people are sitting and resting.

 A cross walk with a person wearing a red shirt and black shorts waiting to cross the street. Next to him is a sign attached to a green pole that reads “COVID-19 Alert. Stay 2 metres apart. Wash your hands”. There is some graffitied text on the sign in black that reads “Do U”. The person standing at the crosswalk is approximately 1 metre away from the sign and they are staring back at the camera.
