Melbourne Candid Series #1265 Flagstaff Garden

 


A young man,
jeans faded like long-travelled roads,
walks with his back to my lens
a silhouette etched in motion.

A wide Mexican hat crowns him,
its brim a small horizon
carrying stories he may not yet know.

He passes beneath the arching sign
of Melbourne’s Mexican Festival,
colours fluttering like paper prayers,
music drifting warm as spice.

In that instant
hat, jeans, stride
he becomes a quiet emblem
of crossing into celebration,
a wanderer stepping
from the ordinary
into a world painted bright
with culture, laughter,
and the promise of belonging.
