Melbourne Candid Series #1285 Collins St

 


He strolls the street with casual flair,
A plastic fan slung like mountain gear.
No breeze today? No need to plan 
He simply walks with his own fan.

A stool for rest, a cord for hope,
Urban survival by extension-rope.
While others chase the summer sun,
He’s already cool — problem done.

  1. He is taking a new fan home so he can enjoy a cool breeze when the weather is hot.

  2. When the heat is on, nothing beats a good fan.
    A curious and timely image!

  3. Buen ventilador para no pasar calor en la calle, el problema es donde poder conectarlo.

  4. Seria una bona idea si no hagués d'anar endollat a la corrent. ;-)

    Salutacions!

  5. An extra fan is always nice in the hot weather!

  6. He's angry because there's no place to plug in, and his cord is flacid.

  7. Maybe he brought his fan to a store for repair?

  8. It seems he has to discard that item. It's a piece of garbage, and plastic, copper and iron can be recycled. Maybe he was going to a recycling center.

  9. if it's still very warm there like it is here then I can understand him buying a fan.
