It is a rare comfort to pause after the labours of New Year’s Eve, for the mind does not surrender its haste at once, but asks for several quiet days before it can truly come to rest. The season has been marked by fierce heat and an unrelenting sun, so that the daylight hours press heavily upon the body and make any venture outdoors an exercise in endurance rather than pleasure.
Joel, meanwhile, is carrying his family northward on holiday to New South Wales, chasing a change of air and scene. I shall remain closer to home, content to trace a series of small, wandering excursions through the reaches of the Melbourne Fringe, finding interest in familiar streets seen at a gentler pace.
What follows is another image from my Pearses Bay sunset collection, completed over the course of 2025—a quiet record of evenings when the light softened at last, the heat loosened its grip, and the day surrendered, with a certain grace, to the calm of night.

DeleteVosaltres per massa calor i nosaltres pel fred, tant uns com altres cerquem indrets on se'ns faci més fàcil respirar.
ReplyDeleteMolt maca la imatge.
Salutacions!
In the broad daylight, I hide inside the house
Delete"The day surrendered, with a certain grace, to the calm of night". You caught the surrender process with your camera :)
