Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn’t any
other stair
quite like
it.
i’m not at the bottom,
i’m not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.

  4. What a great series. It’s amazing the interesting scenes one finds when one is observant and thoughtful. We were in Sydney and Melbourne briefly and I tried to find time to do a little photography. I wished we had more time. Both are beautiful cities.

    • Hi Karen, We were fortunate to be there for three months so I had time to slow down and look. It’s hard to do when you are quickly passing through. Glad you were there– they are wonderful cities.
