Melbourne Candid Series #1076 Little Flinders Lane - next to St Paul Cathedral

 


By St Paul’s shade, where spires climb high,
A hush beneath the bustling sky—
Two souls in pause, a fleeting scene,
Among the stones and city green.

One stands in shorts, knee-length and neat,
The other rests with crossed-up feet,
A coffee warm within her hand,
As traffic hums across the land.

They talk of nothing, maybe dreams,
While sunlight dances off the beams;
A pocket space the world walks past,
But here, the morning dares to last.

Just off the lane where few things stay,
Two people meet, then drift away.

  1. The fellow on the left looks like it could be native dress, but I have no idea what culture. The jumper looks Nordic. Lovely light in your photo.

    1. I think it is typical street wear in the streets

  2. A melancholic photograph, with shadows and lights, with arches and impressive flooring.

  4. Very nice place for cup of coffee or what ever. Great shot too. Light at the end of the tunnel...is you.

  5. A sonnet in iambic tetrameter. Maybe they all have been. I’ve noticed the tetrameter before but not the 14 lines.

  6. Un buen B/N en un pasaje donde sucede la vida y tienes la posibilidad de ralajarte.

  7. Increíble control de luces. Ese lugar tiene una atmósfera muy especial por cómo le llega la luz. El encuadre incluyendo toda la escena es genial y logra que uno se sienta partícipe de ese lugar.

  9. This one reads like a whispered poem to the city—so fleeting, yet full of presence. I love how you capture those quiet in-between moments where time almost stands still. Beautiful work as always.
