An Uphill Battle


“Trying to pedal up the hill in a snow storm??? Fun, right!” Gun Roswell

An Uphill Battle

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently up the hill
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life spent in a chill
(At least in winter!)

Bikes in Winter Times (three) 

“It’s just like riding a bike! Guess it is, only this time it’s done in snow!” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

The several bikes under the tree taking cover from the winter’s deep and tormenting lash of snow, but that is just what it looks like from far away, as these bikes are here to stay, and even totally slay the snows of the winter, never ever fearing the weather, as they have been permanently tethered to this land of cold by their very riders so bold.

So for now, riding along, no matter spring, summer, fall or winter, these bikes and their riders are fierce and do not mind a challenge, not even something bad or ominous foretold. As they take their two wheelers out there, in the open air, peddling gingerly away, as they are not the ones long in one place to stay. And so, no matter the heavy snow fall, the bikes and their bikers stand tall, against the weather gods.

Of course, the shovel is a necessary tool, when packing for the wintery cold, as digging out from the cover light sometimes, cannot be done by hand and well, that might be the only negative, or then it is the ice roads. Then again, spikes to the wheels and thinking of the snow pushing as a sport, the nothing can go wrong for these winter riders.

Bikes in Winter Times (two)


“Riding a bike in the snow can be fun, that is if you can find the bike under the snow first of all!” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

In snow, not cotton
Buried, but not forgotten
Wheels, maybe slightly rotten
Never mind,
I will think of something
For riding my bike
There is no stopping!

“Riding a bike, in winter? Well, guess it takes all kinds, huh?” Gun Roswell

Bikes in Winter Times

Winter be spite
I am riding my bike
Enjoying the ride
Even down a slippery
And extremely icy slide!

Something about… snow?

“Snow, snow, snow and then some” Gun Roswell 


Something about… snow?

Trees,
Without leaves
Pines,
Without vines
Snow
An equalizer

Roses of red in monochrome pose


“Roses of any colour are so gorgeous, even in black and white poses” Gun Roswell

Roses of red in monochrome pose

The neatly made arrangement, in the tall vase
Making sure, the flowers, in an orderly stance stay
The fresh cut stems, certainly trimmed to fit
As all the colourful, roses inside of it neatly sit

The pose, so completely natural, it’s almost second nature
The plush petals trimmed, to reminisce that of a statue 
The strong yet delicate odour, filling, the surrounding air
As such is the nature, of this ever so romantic floras flair

Even, when stripped all the way down, to the bare basics 
The lush colours, the volume, and all other imaginable clicks
These, as the most beautiful roses, still stand tall in their form
Grey in colour now, but, that could have easily been the norm

But, it does not really matter in the end, too much really
Whether the image can be seen sharp, or even so clearly 
And certainly no kind of colour, even black or white
Can bring out the very essence or do just justice 

Cloud Building in the High Skies

“The world is filled with so much colour, so better add some black and white to it!” Gun Roswell

Cloud Building in the High Skies

Is it a mirage?
A clever camouflage?
What ever the cause
You can only applause

Muggy Waters


“There is something about the early morning mist on the waters edge, eerie, but pretty” Gun Roswell

Muggy Waters

Greeted by a view in monochrome
A foggy visual in complete monotone
Water’s surface windblown
Someone give me a phone!
This image needs to be known
Or my fame will be with the winds gone

Winter cold and white but harmonious

“Winter’s art painted across the lands, stays on display, never bland, until it’s time to fade away” Gun Roswell

Winter cold and white but harmonious

Cold, white and monochrome
Nature silent under the snowy dome
But, when the sun paints a triple rainbow
The beauty will bring you to an awe

The Forest covered in Snow


“The silence has descended upon nature this winter” Gun Roswell

The Forest covered in Snow

Forest filled with snow
Branches hanging low
Life still or very slow
It’s winter; Hello!?
