“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins
August Skies
Blue, darker, black
White, grayer, black
The days are getting shorter
The sunlight but a quarter
The clouds gathering
Soon the sun capturing
More rain to be expected
Into our souls reflected
In the August skies
The truth lies
The summer’s end
Photography and Poetry
“In August most of Europe goes on holiday” Tony Visconti
August Rain
The light droplets of rain
Falling onto the open plane
The air cool and crisp
The wind but a wisp
The nature lush and green
Everything new and clean

“August brings into sharp focus and a furious boil everything I’ve been listening to in the late spring and summer” Henry Rollins
August Nature
The last warm days
Before the cold rains
It is time to prepare
But do not despair
Summer may be ending
The nature surely changing
Soon it will be autumn
But the colours
Will be awesome
“If I put the pedal to the metal I might get there on time”
Road Rage
Friday morning, last work day of the week, tried to avoid the morning rush hour at any cost.
I left earlier than usual and reached the interstate only to realize every other person and their friend had had the same idea.
I was cursing (and shouting) out loud in the car at ‘all the idiots’ hogging the lanes. Divided into two kinds of drivers; the first ones driving no faster than the speed limit, the others cris crossing from lane to lane, speeding then slowing down and speeding up again.
Myself of course being the only driver there, following all the traffic rules and driving in the best possible manner, felt allowed to chastise all the others.
I myself try to pick one lane and stick with it. I like to drive fast, so…

Four Wheel Drives and Shopping Bags
I have wondered for a while where people who drive massive four-wheel drives live. Is it a rural forestry area, were they would need a tractor like vehicle just to get to the main road? Or maybe they are sidelining as farmers and the car has a double function as a plow or other form of device needed on a big estate?
I myself drive a small car, even though it has four wheels. In comparison it is really a minor league moving vehicle compared to some of the “muscle cars” increasingly occupying the traffic.
I prefer a car that is low on gas, maintenance and at most times, easy to find parking space for. Sometimes referred to as “a shopping bag”, but…

“Live long and prosper” – Spock AKA Leonard Nimoy
Homage to Spock AKA Leonard Nimoy
“It’s only a television show”
– Maybe so, but it got me through the best of times and surely through the worst of times
“Vulcan honours us with your presence. We come to serve”
– Mr Spock had me at hello
“Never meet your heroes”
– Maybe true, but this particular hero I will regret not meeting for the rest of my life
“These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.”
– And I will keep watching until such time they put me out to pasture.
Mr Nimoy, please reserve a room for me also in Valhalla!

“Winter is coming” George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
A Winter’s Tale
When stepping outside
Much to surprise
A freezing wind
Is greeting your skin
Rubbing your eyes
Hoping, only lies
But, waking to reality
Accepting the actuality
A cover of white
May be a delight
After the lush of green
You have seen
All summer long
Trying to stay strong
It’s here to stay
Pushing away
The slowly creeping
Sinking feeling
Don’t get bitter
It’s only winter

Around the World in Black and White, Second Edition
In the rain forest of Brazil
You can feel the thrill
Sailing down the river Negro
Quite the incognito
Catch a glimpse of the dolphins
Can rise the endorphins
Planning on staying a while
On the beautiful isle
That of Cyprus
Home to many a cypress
The surrounding seas of turquoise
Swimming around like the tortoise
Enjoying the island life
Dancing to a flute or a fife
Whether a history buff
Or a hang loose beach bum
Rhodes is the place enough
To make you wanna hum

“We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top” Navjot Singh Sidhu
Cherries
Sweet, sweet cherries
The reddest of berries
Picking them
One by one
Licking my fingers
When I’m done

“Nothing but blue skies from now on…”
Blue Skies
Today
A display
Up in the sky
I saw the light
Shining so bright
Feeling high
A big smile
On my face
In this place
Where bliss
Exists
Today
