Melbourne Candid Series #1017 Collins St

 


Through streets of gold where merchants call,
She wandered light ‘neath evening’s thrall.
With weary gaze and laden hands,
She left behind the bustling stands.

And as my shutter caught the scene,
Her eyes shut soft, lost in between.
Through heavy glasses, she turned away,
A fleeting ghost of spent-out day.

Melbourne Candid Series #1005 Royal Arcade Collins St

 


She carried a great many garments, though the air was not so cold as to warrant such burden.

Stepping forth from the Royal Arcade, she moved with measured pace, her footsteps falling upon a floor patterned like a checkerboard, its polished surface gleaming beneath the soft glow of morning light.

Melbourne Candid Series #1002 Hopetoun Tea Room, Collins Arcade

 


In a quaint abode, by gentle light, Where cakes abound, a sweet delight, The air is filled with sugar’s grace, A charming, cozy, quaint embrace.

The flavors dance, a merry troupe, On tongues that savor every scoop, With every bite, joy’s sweet unfold, A tale of bliss in crumbs retold.

So come, partake, and time delay, In this fair haven, softly stay, Where cakes, like dreams, all worries chase, And leave a smile upon your face.
