Photo Challenge: Corona Virus lockdown lets Nature go wild

We are witnessing a global change of our daily lives to a degree that did not happen for decades. The large scale and drastic measurements aim to isolate the most vulnerable people, and limit social interaction between others. Yet, as countries go on the Corona Virus lockdown, nature is going wild at an incredible speed in unexpected places.

In Venice, one of the top tourist destinations in the world with 30 million visitors on an annual basis, life stands still too. Without any boats or gondolas cruising through its canals, the water in Venice has never been clearer. Reports from the local newspaper, and even the CNN, show how locals are seeing fish returning to Venice canals, too many to count.
