They sat on the edge of the night,
not quite inside, not quite gone—
just a pause between neons and thoughts.

Captured during blue hour in Gdańsk, Poland, where symmetry and silence take over the streets.

a hand shaped by years, by chords pressed and strings plucked. the skin tells stories, rough like old roads, steady like the rhythm of a familiar song. the guitar hums beneath it, wood and wire worn with life. nothing fancy here. just music. just time. seen in berlin mitte, where echoes live in quiet hands.
