Melbourne Candid Series #1002 Hopetoun Tea Room, Collins Arcade

 


In a quaint abode, by gentle light, Where cakes abound, a sweet delight, The air is filled with sugar’s grace, A charming, cozy, quaint embrace.

The flavors dance, a merry troupe, On tongues that savor every scoop, With every bite, joy’s sweet unfold, A tale of bliss in crumbs retold.

So come, partake, and time delay, In this fair haven, softly stay, Where cakes, like dreams, all worries chase, And leave a smile upon your face.

    After reading your poem, I want to have cake in this place. The fellow on the right looks like he enjoyed his dessert.

    Hello Roentare :)
    Well I certainly have a smile on my face after reading your poem and seeing the photo of the man replete after eating a delightful cake.
    All the best

    Cara de sorpresa al ver que alguien le estaba haciendo una foto. Genial la expresión.

    It is electric when your subject looks at the camera. Especially when you don't realize it until you see the photo later. This is a very kinetic shot with lots of action and feeling aloha

    No está mal el sitio, el cliente ha terminado satisfecho, lo que parece que no le ha hecho gracia es salir en la fotografía.
    Que tengas un agradable día.
