Melbourne Candid Series #1256 Elizabeth St

 


On Elizabeth Street
chrome stones hold the weight of waiting
a young man folded into his phone,
thumbs flickering like city lights.

Footsteps pass without ceremony,
backpacks, boards, quiet destinations.
Traffic hums a restless hymn,
glass towers watching everything.

No one stops
yet in the metal’s cold reflection
the city pauses for a breath,
and loneliness shines like silver.

  5. Potser que no s'aturin per respirar, però per mirar el mòbil sempre hi ha temps.
    Salutacions!

  6. Bonita foto de esa calle en la que las personas caminan sin apenas fijarse en quien está sentado descansando.

  7. I walked past the sculptures a couple of days ago and thought that they aren't very interesting as art, and as seats hopeless.

  8. Interesting design for that public seating area . . . .

  9. You caught the action on this street, and of course there is one person focusing on their cell phone. Looks like a warm day. I look forward to warmth again.

  10. Not comfortable! Even wood seems more natural. Still, they are interesting.

  11. Such attractive seats - though I don't think I'd use them in cold weather :-)

  12. J'adore ces bancs. Tu les rends en tout cas très photogéniques
