Night Skating



Melbourne. Late on a warm summer’s night. Having stopped for a rest from skating on the long promenade paved with slate that runs thru the Melbourne Royal Exhibition centre. We rested our heads on our boards and stared up at the city lights. And then a mother duck and three ducklings bustled across the promenade in the distance
We followed them to their lake.
I nearly cried.
Nearly.
