Melbourne Candid Series #1174 Flinders St

 


Beneath the stone of Flinders Street,
An old man moves on steady feet,
A paper map held firm, yet frail,
As if to chart a vanished trail.

Beside him walks a boy of youth,
His grin bright, his step uncouth,
A sun-glass crown upon his hair,
A careless halo, light as air.

Two figures bound by time’s design,
One tracing roads, one yet to find,
Together in the city’s hum
The past and future walk as one.


Sony A7RV

  3. Thia could be a grandfather and his grandson on a shopping or sight seeing trip. It's good when grandsons can spend time with their grandfathers.

  6. Una calle larga en su extensión que tú has sabido fotografiar a la perfección dándonos entrada a ella con esos dos personajes en primer plano a partir de los que la vista recorre la calle hasta llegar al fondo.

  8. People said he or she would be a good poet when he or she falls in love. Are you falling in love now, mate? Just kidding. It’s a good photo
