Melbourne Candid Series #1279 Nicholson St

 


A woman in tight-cut city stride,
Coffee warming one sure hand,
Her phone a glow she will not hide,
A compass she alone can understand.

She walks the street without a glance,
Skipping the world before her feet,
Lost in her screen’s unfolding dance,
Threading through the urban beat.

Traffic hums and footsteps blur,
Yet she moves on, absorbed, alone
A modern wanderer wrapped in her

Small bright kingdom of glass and phone


Sony A7RV

  1. She does seem focused on her phone. This is a scene we see all too often these days. The travelers walking the other way are interesting. This makes me wonder where they are from, and where they are going?

  3. Great shot of a typical woman. It's kind of sad.

  4. It never fails: one hand occupied with the phone and the other with the cup of coffee/tea. That's life!

  5. Ida y vuelta, las dos caras de un paseo y con ese poste dividiendo en dos la imagen.

  6. Cada una de ellas sigue su camino buscando aquello que les ocupará su tiempo. Mientras una de ellas atiende a dos cosas a la vez y por lo tanto no atiende bien , ni a una ni a la otra. Buen testimonio de estos tiempos
    Un abrazo
