Devonport Sunshine
Sights of Devonport
Glinting waves
curling around
into bays
washing into harbour walls.
Sounds of Devonport
The brother running footsteps
from arcade mall mouth
Chased by calling sister
Child in arms starts singing
a song of life
Hundreds of children calls
From seaside playground
far enough away to reduce
to leaking balloons of fun and adventure
Two friends on coffee expedition
friendship conversation bubble
Punctuated by seagulls
indignant squawks
Car engines purring
Traffic voices
Welcomes called by shop owners
And a thousand unheard voices of history.
Starting Thoughts: A wonderful sunny day in Wellington, New Zealand. At the port, shopping in Devonport. Decided to capture some sights and sounds.
