Melbourne Candid Series #1094 Little Bourke St

 


An alley off of Little Bourke,
Where silence wraps the city's murk,
The night breathes low in amber hue,
Street lamps cast their solemn view.

Their golden halos gently fall
On cobblestones, worn smooth and small,
Each stone a story, soft and old,
Of boots and dreams, of hands grown cold.

Shadows stretch along the lane,
In quiet rhythm, soft as rain.
The city's hum is far, then near—
A breath, a step, a whisper clear.

Here secrets cling to brick and wall,
Where time forgets to move at all.
In Melbourne's heart, in hush and gleam,
The alley hums a half-lost dream.

  2. Es un lugar tranquilo y solitario. Da un poco de miedo transitar por esa calle.

  3. I like light and shadow effect on cobblestones at night. This effect makes that alley mysterious in an unpleasant way.

    1. Then one gets news of people being raped or murdered from walking through this sort of lane at 1 am

  6. Un gran cambio de lugar y de tipo de fotografía. Me gusta mucho. Un blanco y negro precioso y una calle solitaria y con un algo de misterio.

  7. Looks like a dark alley in Victorian London where Jack the Ripper lurked.

    So beautiful, Roentare! I'd think twice before walking down that alley by myself!
