#987 - Colorful Street Scenes for Monday.

Greetings this Monday😉 and stay curious dearest Hiveans. The world is full of wonders waiting to be discovered by us. Ask questions even if annoying, seek answers and never stop learning any new stuff. Curiosity keeps the mind sharp and the spirit young. So keep exploring out there, keep questioning and always stay hungry for knowledge. The journey of discovery is just beginning for us all so go out there and claim it!

And now for our daily shots in colors. The pedestrian light turned green and a sea of people surged forward and started crossing the road. Among the crowd was an old couple that walks slowly with their steps careful. The woman holds tightly to her husband's arm showing their enduring love and dependence on each other. Together, they navigate the bustling street as their love story unfold, a beautiful contrast to the busy world around them.

Next was a scene by the side of the road where this middle aged man stands with his body leaning forward and slowly walked. He grips the handle of a large cart behind him with the weight of the goods it carries which were mostly vegetables. His shoulders wet with sweat is a testament to his unyielding determination. His eyes fixed forward knowing that this is his path to providing for his family.

Here's an old man that sits on a concrete bench in the park together with his relatives. His eyes however are fixed on a young family approaching them. The young Igorot father carries his little boy on his shoulders. The old man's gaze was probably a mix of nostalgia and warmth. In that moment, the old man probably was transported back to his own youth and remembering the days when he, too, was a young father, full of energy and dreams.

Lastly was this scene Burnham Park busy with energy and a chaotic scene of life on a weekend. All the concrete benches are occupied by families with their laughter and chat filled the cold weather. Children run around and scream with joy. Couples stroll hand in hand, friends busy with their conversations. The park's pathways are a hive of busy activity with people walking in every direction. The rise in visitors has turned the park into a colorful mosaic of people.
