Melbourne Candid Series #1039 Swanston St

 


I can't believe she bought a book—

From Dymocks, of all places! Look—

I thought that shop had long since died,

Its lights gone out, its shelves denied.


Yet there she stood, with quiet pride,

A paperback tucked at her side.

While near her, on Swanston Street,

A gentleman, composed and neat,


Wore a hat—so bold, so fine—

Like jazz notes dancing on a line.

Two scenes at once, a city’s hum,

Where past and present softly drum.

Sony A7RV

FE 20-70mm f4 G

  1. Personajes variopintos caminan como en procesión, unos detrás de otros. Cada cual vestido de diferente manera. Entre todos forman un bonito grupo.
    Un abrazo
