World Wide Wednesday Presents: Delphi
History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece
The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

What rhymes with orange?
A sunset, of a different kind
Only this short homage
Was for it today assigned

FIVE:
Perky little red thing
Makes you want to sing
It thought it was the king
But found out with a sting
It was just a fling

FOUR:
On the bare black branches
Which leaves have now neglected
The last evening light reflected
As the sun slowly dances
Into the night’s darkness

THREE:
Pretty red flower
Over the others will tower
Raising its head proudly
Shouting out loudly
“Look at me, me, me, me!”

TWO:
Red, green and blue combined
Autumn’s true colours refined
Vibrating in the afternoon sun
Before the winter winds
Will leave them undone

ONE:
The colour of blue
With a slightest hue
Of turquoise and silver
Reflected on the wall
Shadows of tall
Evening lights flowing
Like the river

Quote a Week Tuesday, 2016-02-02
People often ask me what kind of camera I use. I must confess, after being a pix snapper for forty years, I have come to the conclusion, that the camera does not make the shot, I do. I used to drag all sorts of equipment with me even on travels, but since the advent of the digital format, I prefer to carry the smallest one with me, or just the mobile phone.
Of course there are advantages to SLR and various lens options, but then again, I rarely get the opportunity to just spend my time pic snapping anymore and when the opportunity for a great shot arises, I don’t care what camera I have with me, as long as I get the shot.
There are those who disagree with me and I agree not all of the snaps turn out as I imagined, but for me personally, the idea is more important than technical perfection. An image can be perfect in all ways, but still have no content. Even an out of focus image with a great vision, can be perfect. And in the end, if you yourself like it, then it is great!
Meanwhile, I think we can all agree on Chase Jarvis’ quote:

The White Cat in a Hat
The little white cat
With a black hat
Was taking a nap
On the kitchen mat
Her tail all curled
As she softly purred
Oblivious to the world
As it around her whirled
Something made her stir
Looking up with a stare
Straight up stood her fur
As she took off in a blur
The hat off tore
Landed on the floor
The cat was out the door
Heard was a loud roar
