The power of a good book..

 

'There is nothing more luxurious than eating while you read - unless it be reading while you eat'.. E.Nesbit..

This was an impulse shot as we were walking through the Perth Cultural Centre last week on the way back to the car. The young lady eating lunch, immersed in her book seemed undisturbed by the chaos around her. The Cultural Centre is like a building site at the moment, scaffolding for the new rooftop space on the Art Gallery WA has taken over temporarily. Looking forward to that space opening hopefully soon, the city views should be excellent. Must admit the world around me disappears when reading good book, how about you :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  1. Total escape from the real world. A glass of red wine goes down a treat too.

  3. Always nice to find a space outside to read.
    I once worked at a company that had a courtyard at their factory, and people could often be found there reading on their breaks.

  10. It does, everything around me disappears and I'm betting she's on a lunch break with her badge hanging in clear view! She's no doubt reading as much as she can until lunch break is over!
