Melbourne Candid Series #1324 Victoria St

 


Shutters down, the shops asleep,
Graffiti whispers secrets cheap.

A masked man walks with measured tread,
Buying time (and maybe bread).

“Huff & Puff” still claims the air,
Though no one’s left to buy or care;
“Mollyfuns” promises delight
Closed till further notice… right.

Posters shout of nights once loud,
Now peeling dreams to no one’s crowd.

Yet on he goes, bag in hand
A quiet king of a quieter land.


Sony A7RV

  3. Crec que mirant el seu voltant i l'hora que és, no seria necessari portar tapaboques...
    Salutacions!

  4. Me gusta mucho esta foto. Las persianas bajadas y la calle casi desierta le dan un aire muy interesante y enigmático.

  6. This does not look like a happy place despite the "Mollyfun" sign. The fellow just has to walk through this area to get where he is going.

  10. mi piace molto questa foto.
    il black and white gli dona molto.
    la mascherina sembra quasi un obbligo.
    bocca chiusa, negozio chiuso, tempo finito.
