“Take a walk around the city, it’s not that big so it will be easy.” Gun Roswell
Down the esplanade
We like to parade
With a gentle sway
For a while in the cafes stay
Until summer will fade
And to indoors we will trade
Esplanade – Helsinki

Green with Flora
“Green and yellow, in the meadow, those signs of summer for all to see.” Gun Roswell
The floral scene
Filled with green
Like summer beans
Filling this screen
Colour in the Shadows
“One needs a hint of colour in ones life.” Gun Roswell
There it lurks
In the deep dark shadows
Soon bursting out, in fireworks
In one big colourful pose
Ripples on the Water
“Something so mysterious about those ripples forming there, like mini wormholes they be.” Gun Roswell
Soon, September comes with sniffles
Thought of that gives me wrinkles
Looking at the water’s surface filled with ripples
As it smiles with all its dimples
Life in August, smooth and simple
And today, is Friday, so just whistle
Someone’s idea of a summer home?
“There are plenty of summer cottages out there, just need to look for them, maybe stay there for free?” Gun Roswell
The rather flimsily built house,
Perhaps not even fit for a field mouse,
But it’s well ventilated just the same,
Even if it does not hold that much thunder and rain,
Alas, during a day of most perfect sunshine;
It’s the best place to inside hide,
Just remember to wear lots of sunblock!
Lanzarote Part Three
“It’s like a blast from the past, all that volcanic land!” Gun Roswell
Scenic views
Ocean of blue
Fluffy clouds
Dancing allowed
Palm trees
In abundance
Sunshine
With substance
Lanzarote Part Two
“Something about the island far far away, out there on the ocean… something mysterious?” Gun Roswell
A stroll around down town
A Lidl and a few shoeshops found
Time for a scenic break
Before to the road we take
Down to the busy harbour
Checking both port and starboard
Both filled with tourists a flocking
Guess it wasn’t shocking
After all, a pleasent place
A seashore the perfect interface
Lanzarote Part One
“Something about the island… something volcanic?” Gun Roswell
The skies the colour of blue
Clouds fluffy, but far and few
Sun shining ever so brightly
The pool beckoning and inviting
The dwellings painted in white
This definitely is our “campsite”
Home away from home for a week
What else could one want or seek
Ride a Trike on Mallorca!
“A day at the beach, ride a bike or just simply be!” Gun Roswell
Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be
By the Porvoo River and then some!
“Take a tour in the old town or then ride a slow boat down the river, it’s a day of adventure!” Gun Roswell
The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo
