Seaside Seating

Michelle

Quiet seaside seating, St Kilda, Melbourne - the old lady sits in this chair with a crocheted blanket across her frail knees - she feels the cold early in Autumn these days, but the light is so beautiful as she looks out across her small courtyard, across the park and to the thin line of water that is the Tasman Sea beyond. She spends most of her time alone and quietly in her own thoughts. Sometimes her daughter and her grandchildren visit, but not so very often as they used to.
