Melbourne Candid Series #1268 Swanston St

 


Three abreast on Swanston Street,
summer heat beneath their feet.
Shop signs shout and scooters lean,
life hums loud in black-and-white sheen.

One looks stern, one hides in shade,
one strides on—decisions made.
Footpaths flow like urban streams,
everyone walking inside their schemes.

No grand drama, no parade
just city stories, casually displayed.

  1. I see the trend of abandoning electric skateboards in the middle of the street has reached Melbourne too!

  3. The fellow on the left is wondering why you are pointing a camera at him. The two women haven't seen you at all. The one on the right is window shopping.
