Tree-lined lakeside walkway in Canberra, Victoria
Nature's version of a red carpet—minus the drama.
The path stretched ahead, its edges softened by the shadows of trees leaning protectively over it. To my left, the lake murmured quietly to itself, its surface rippling as if whispering secrets to the breeze. A cyclist passed me without a sound except for the faint hum of tires on concrete. I stopped to watch the water for a moment. Across the shimmering expanse, cranes loomed like skeletal giants over distant buildings—a reminder that even here, where nature and design meet so harmoniously, progress never truly pauses.
