A Friday night in town

Last Friday I went, with some friends, to a nice little place in the Melbourne CBD called Baraki” (Baraki homepage). The plan was to have some eats (Friday after work – people were quite hungry), and enjoy the live music.

The plan worked out only half way. The food was only average, and we ate what we ordered more because we were starving, than for any other reason. The ambiance, and the music, on the other hand, were very nice. By the time the main act, by a band called Motif , had started, everyone was having a very good time, despite the, slightly, confined space.

We slowly made our way to Zoe’s car, to drive home. On the way, we passed a few horse carriages, of which Swanston St has plenty, and all of which are out in force on a busy Friday night.

The girl was, at first, curious, but soon she became very tender towards the beast.I literally saw this scene with the corner of my eye, as I was discussing with Zoe something that had happened earlier. It was, quite literally, almost a reflex action to reposition myself and try 3 frames to make a good photograph out of this moment.

It was a beautiful scene, the girl was so curious about the horse, which, in turn, was very relaxed.
