Melbourne Candid Series #1033 Balmoral Ave

 


On Balmoral Avenue, where life moves fast,
A new winter's chill, a shadow cast.
A strain unseen, a threat to come,
The streets grow tense as fears are numb.

Yet there he walks, in casual grace,
A mask on his chin, not in place.
It hangs there low, a classic style,
As if the risk can be defiled.

The world grows cautious, yet he’s free,
Unmoved by warnings, wild with glee.
Through Springvale’s hum, his steps unfold,
A modern tale, both new and old.

Sony A7RV

  1. Balmoral, una avenida que parece muy frecuentada por los paseantes y en la que según parece también hay lugares en los que desayunar y tomar aperitivos en terrazas. No parece que le gustase mucho que le hiciéses la foto.
    Un abrazo
