#990 - Classy Monochrome Street Scenes for Sunday.

Happy Sabbath lovely Hiveans, remember that it's okay to say no sometimes. We don't have to do everything and it's important to set boundaries for own well-being. Saying no doesn't make someone selfish, it does makes us human. So don't be afraid to decline or simply take a step back when needed. Your time and energy are precious and you have the right to protect it.😉

Now for our daily shots this time in monochrome of the streets. There's the road leading to the SM Mall in Baguio which doesn't have a centralized air conditioning system. The road side was lined with a display of police bikes and vehicles parked, there is a police precinct there on the side as their presence is needed all the time here. Many pedestrians walk along the side of the road, those others going uphill take it slow, conserving energy.

Then we got here four students with their uniforms walking side by side at Burnham Park with the carefree spirit of youth. Their classes might have been already over that day. Nearby were some adults that occupy the concrete chairs and table l. They watch the students with nostalgia. Some of the adults looking at the lake where visitors ride boats.

Then a scene under the cover of tall trees were a man walks in the middle of two women. The trio moves with a shared rhythm and their steps in sync as their body language. The man caught laughing with his face full of happiness. The women were also having a big smiles in their faces showing their tight friendship and connection.

Lastly was this young couple stroll through the busy Burnham Park with their slow steps to accommodate the little boy the wife was carrying. The woman with her arms cradling their little baby boy and her eyes reflecting the joy of young motherhood. The man guides them through the crowd. Despite the crowd, the young family moves as a team with their unbreakable bonds their love a beacon that cuts through the bustle of the park, a beautiful reminder of the simple joys in life.
