The Inner Circle, by Erly Bahsan

A street snapshot taken at the side of a junction near Daan Park in Taipei City, Taiwan, where there is a big circle in the ground. An old man with a mask covering his face, passed by another man inside the circle. In Taipei, people always use a mask if they caught flu and usually they seems to avoid other people because they don’t want to infect others.
