Coffee, a Bliss and a Blessing

Day Four: Coffee, a Bliss and a Blessing

Premise:

What is your idea of bliss? Is it an image of your family, laughing at the dinner table? A state of total relaxation, while lying on the beach? Your latest painting, drying on the canvas?

Bliss: complete happiness, great joy, paradise, or heaven.

Quotes:

“There is coffee in that nebula!” Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager

“There is no life before the first cup of coffee in the morning”

“Coffee, it’s gotten me through the best of times and the worst of times”

My thoughts:

So many passions to choose from, but in the end I guess my top choice is, surprise, surprise: COFFEE!

If I had been on the Titanic, I would probably have chosen to save the coffee before anyone or anything else. And trust me, you would not want to be stranded with me on a deserted island if there was no coffee!

Another day with Coffee:

Need more coffee before work

Talk to the hand if you did not bring me coffee before you entered my office!

Aaah!

Coffee break

My two passions, flavoured coffee and my mac

Favourite flavours

Coffee goes great with a few treats ;P

Cooling off with some ice coffee

End of another day, with coffee of course!

“Riding to the sunset, just me and my pot of coffee… singing along, side by side…”

Peeping Tammy (Through the Lens)

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Gun Roswell

“Any photographer who says he’s not a voyeur is either stupid or a liar” Helmut Newton

Peeping Tammy

Camera ready
Hands steady
Acting like the pros
Striking a pose
Click, click, click
Getting the kicks
When images saved
And getting made

Like a Peeping Tom
Creating photo bombs
Spying through the lens
Trying to make a amends
Posting views
Not only for the selected few
But no less
In the world of wireless

Enjoy!

Day Three: Say Hello to the Neighbours

Stalking around other bloggers sites is a fun chore. Even though your interests may be other than some of the offerings out there, the effort which goes into the creation of the blogs never seizes to amaze me.

Being visually orientated myself, I always enjoy the pictures of course, but the topics also strike interest in me. I try to widen my horizons and follow as many blogs as possible. It is also important to remember to press the LIKE button on your visits to show the appreciation for the bloggers work!

I hope to get familiar with many “faces” during this Blogging 101 session and hope you enjoy my offerings too!

Bloggers ago!

Photography 101: Day Three: Water & Orientation

Posted on June 11, 2015 by Gun Roswell

“We have different relationships to and stories about water: how it has saved or defeated us. How it reminds us of family vacations, outdoor adventures, or the hot summers of our childhood. How it might symbolize a place we’ve left behind, or a location we dream to go.”

Todays locale, the beautiful bay area of Haukilahti, Espoo in Finland. The marina with it’s many boats and the quaint restaurant named simply as the Haukilahti Pavilion is an excellent place for visitors and local people to spend time in. Whether you are a jogger or enjoying a peaceful moment, or setting to sea, the views are magnificent and sea breeze will cool you down even in the hottest of weather. The Pavilion serves also as a restaurant and is known for it’s tasty salmon soup; a good choice for a meal in any type of weather!
