Melbourne Candid Series #952 Acland St

 


Upon the bustling thoroughfare of Acland Street, St. Kilda, there stood two aged riders, their motorbikes gleaming like relics of a bygone era. Engaging in earnest conversation with a venerable elder, they cast shadows long and thoughtful in the afternoon sun. There, amidst the ebb and flow of modernity, history and wisdom interwove, as tales of the road were shared in the language of experience and time.

  8. Great street photo of these folks in conversation. I am surprised at how American motorcycle culture has pervaded Australia with the machines, a "bagger" and a "chopper", and even the dress wearing colors.

    1. Australia is almost the same as US just few years behind in technology. Cost of living is not as dear as US

  10. Esas motocicletas son la envidia de cualquier motero que se precie. No me extraña que el anciano se quedara a verlas y admirarlas con toda la intención de descubrir esas joyas del motociclismo. Buen momento fotográfico.

  14. Hello Roentar :)
    Yes, your narrative has an almost poetic feel to it as you describe the scene you photographed. I think if you have been a biker in your youth you retain the fire which never dies out even in middle age Good one!.
