Melbourne Candid Series 1188 De Graves St

 


In monochrome the scene is cast,
A fleeting moment, caught and fast.
A chap emerges, slow in pace,
Contentment written on his face.

From pasta’s den he takes his leave,
His belly round, his heart relieved.
The alley hums, the shadows play,
De Graves holds stories night and day.

His step is heavy, yet it shows,
The simple joy a good meal sows.
A quiet frame, a fleeting art,
Of fullness carried in the heart.

  3. Maybe he doesn't like Italian dishes :-) The photo also shows a lovely place visited by people who are pleasant.

  6. Looks like a good place to eat if one is hungry. One can't tell much about the customers, They arrive hungry and leave full.

  7. Pensativo sale del local, con la vista de unos clientes de fondo y a la entrada la vista de la pizarra con lo que se puede consumir.
    Feliz incio de semana.
