There's something about the way sunlight filters through the leafy canopy, casting an almost ethereal glow on the city's beating heart. The cobblestone pathways echo stories of the old world while modernity playfully peeks out from the trendy boutiques and cafes that line the boulevard. Esplanade in the summer isn’t just a place; it’s an experience.

Once again, I find myself returning to this captivating canvas. Seated on a park bench, I become an observer, a silent student, deciphering the life pulsating around me. My notebook, covered in florals, seems to echo the colours of the flower bench nearby as if inspired by a blossoming symphony captured in a romantic painting.
