Melbourne Candid Series #1063 Little Flinders Lane

 


In front of black glass, five figures stand,
Each lost in thought, no guiding hand.
The street reflects in polished pane,
A ghost of Little Flinders Lane.

One checks a phone with furrowed brow,
Another scans the world somehow.
A third just leans, no place to be,
The fourth stares out, too far to see.

The last stands still, like carved-out stone,
Together near, yet all alone.
The building watches, dark and wide,
A silent witness on the side.

In black and white, the moment stays—
Five quiet lives in their own ways.

  4. This is obviously an area for smokers, and I see only two of them are on cell phones. At least they are not smoking inside the building.

  5. Una foto muy bien equilibrada con los dos grupos dispuestos en el lugar perfecto. Me encantan los reflejos en el cristal del fondo.

  6. Is that outside an office building? They were probably just taking their pause.
