Life In The Laneways Ever Changing Always The Same

Looking down the laneway, meeting friends and talking about all things concerning you at that very minute. Sheltered above by the open sky and surrounded by art all over the walls. This is Melbourne, over and over and over. At first I feel this photo is taken early evening of an overcast day, and I feel ever so slightly cold, but excited at the same time. The clothes people wear provide no clue, they dress like this day in and day out.  And then I look up a little and imagine it is the middle of the day with a bright sunshine smiling down, and we are simply sheltered by shadow. Always something lies waiting down the next laneway, more drawing on the walls, another group of people talking about every and anything going on. Always interesting, always a place to sit close by and drink a coffee and celebrate life, interaction, expression, creations and monster in the back cupboard in the kitchen hiding under all the old things. This is Melbourne one moment in time and we wouldn't have it any other way.
