    I can't understand why anyone would lounge under an umbrella surrounded by all that gleaming white snow!

    I hope they're really and not actors.

    They look like pictures you would find on a hospital's website.

    Those people might be actual working in a hospital .... but those pictures are staged.

    If, obviously, the perfection of the image, the adequate framing and the study of the composition are all in agreement. Just select the images more for what they are trying to convey, for the silent work to physical exhaustion and the renunciation of family life in normal conditions of all those people who fight against the COVID every day while the members of the government are at home enjoying television and their leisure time with wages they do not deserve. All those people who go to work every day knowing the infinite risk they have of being infected by the viral load they are accumulating and who are the last line of defence we have while members of government did not go to work in Congress for fear of being infected. All those people who have shown up every day at work even without being provided with means of protection against COVID or hiring new doctors to replace the sick with COVID while the members of government, without working, have not given up a single cent of their work by charging for per diems, travel, hotels, meals (The number of health professionals infected with COVID-19 is over 79,000 and represents 5.46% of the total number of people infected in Spain. Source: RTVE)

    For me the beauty of the images is the unconditional surrender of those people beyond their working hours, their responsibilities, their salary and their own fatigue, that surrender to heal and save another human being. It is only a small tribute to that silent and continuous work, the last line of defence.
