Walking through Melbourne I came across this scene at the water wall on the corner of Collins and Swanston Streets. This boy was putting back the leaves that had fallen off wall, to complete the message an unknown person had left behind.

Candid capture.

  • Haha, I can’t believe I didn’t make the connection! How funny.. I swear I had nothing to do with this one ;) Thanks a lot mate :)
