Melbourne Candid Series #1268 Flagstaff Garden

 


A man stands in a field of soft, blurred voices,
sunlight falling on his bare arms,
on the crumpled tissue in his hand
a small pause in the middle of a busy day.

Beside him, a woman bends toward a child,
their movements quiet as petals settling.
The child leans forward,
hair slipping like a brushstroke
toward the open earth.

Around them, life goes on
figures drifting, talking,
fading into background haze
but here, in this small circle,
time slows to a gentle heartbeat.

A moment of care,
unremarkable to the world,
yet whole and complete in itself
a simple tenderness
held on a sunlit lawn.

  1. There is something interesting on the ground capturing all their attention. Perhaps the child dropped something? The man is holding a tube of cream, perhaps sun screen as they are out in bright sunshine? Your photo tells a good story as all street photos should.

  2. A good urban scene with small details and gestures that fill it with content.

  4. Parece una escena cotidiana. El hombre mantiene un tubo de alguna crema que parece que el niño se estuviera aplicando.
