MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #32

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers

Heavy Metal

Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

An homage to lifts/elevators everywhere 😉

“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can” Rufus Wainwright

Open Sesame

Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said

Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red

“I enter the world called real as one enters a mist” Julien Green

Early Morning Mist with a touch of Red

The eerie morning mist
Before the sun has kissed
The clouds a grayish shade
Before the mist will fade

The skies slowly turning into red
Looking forward to the day ahead
Will it be another day filled with sunshine
Or do I rain and cold wind only find?

It’s only complicated if you are stupid (Repost for 3 day quote)

“The most complicated skill is to be simple” Dejan Stojanovic

It’s only complicated if you are stupid

“It’s complicated”
Don’t you just hate it
The comment that pops up
Like excuses, filling the cup

But it’s not, really, is it?
It’s just a made up quip
It is actually very simple
Super sweet, short and simple

Think smart and on the dot
Lying down or on your feet
Something made up on the spot
Or even profoundly deep

If it’s not rocket science
The appliance
Is usually elementary
And easily supplementary

So lay down the stupid
Forget the complicated
Unless you want a pimple
Because life really is very simple
When you get right down to it

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue

Blue Moment

That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…

…A natural true blue

“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien

Nightfall, City Lights

The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October

Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent

And start my journey home

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns” George Eliot

Leaves of November

The colours may be fading
The cold nights not aiding
The circle of life still a fact
Use camouflage to distract?

Winter knocking at the door
Trying hard to ignore
Yearn for life weighing more
Growing stronger than before

Just Another Week Day in November

“The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully” Henry Rollins

Just Another Week Day in November

Oh how time flies
Right in front of my eyes
Like a time laps movie
Running by the history

The sun rises and sun sets
Fluffy clouds a wonder
Rain and thunder
Making the ground wet

It used to be January
Now it is already November
Maybe it was just imaginary
Or just something I remember

Ornate, The Natural History Museum of London

The Daily Post Photo challenge: Ornate

Forget about subdued and restrained. This week, let’s embrace the breathtakingly extravagant.

“A lot of designs are grounded in history even though they tend to be clean and not overly ornate. The sculptural form is often historic. If you come to our exhibit, a lot of things will look familiar” Ellen Lupton

Ornate, The Natural History Museum of London

A building
Filled with beauty and history
A home to many a -logy
Botany, entomology, mineralogy
Paleontology and zoology

You may bump into a dinosaur
But don’t worry, it will not roar
Explore the various galleries
Where many of Earth’s memories
Are housed

Public engagement and education
Plenty of research and curation
The Darwin centre with specimen
The Attenborough Studio for conservation
Plenty to choose from
