Melbourne Candid Series #1156 Little Flinders Lane

 


The chap with a cap on Little Flinders Lane,
Stands in the slant of a morning refrain.
With a cup in hand, he quietly sips,
A smoothie swirling at his lips.

Berry or mango—who’s to say?
His gaze drifts slow with the start of day.
Tram bells ring and footsteps pass,
While time runs thin through café glass.

No rush, no fuss, just city hum,
And fruit-blent calm where thinkers come.
A cap, a cup, and quiet poise
A moment soft in Melbourne noise.

  3. Nice photo taken in a quiet corner of Melbourne. It seems the man was checking the fruit juice before sipping it.

  7. He can't believe he has found the bottom of his drink. He had to check to see if the cup had a hole in it.
