Take a dip!

“In the summer time, and I am totally feeling fine, but only when I am close to some kind of watery place for at least a moment to stay“ Gun Roswell

The days long and warm, even if there was some expected storm in the horizon on the rising, but the weather gods kept on smiling as the sun was still almost the whole day full shining. The warmth totally fine as long as there was an option for taking even a short breather in the calming and inviting cool blues, the waters with the variously coloured inviting hues. 

After the working day done, the only one thing in my mind then is to make the short stroll towards the beach, where I know I can reach those soft waves crashing ashore and as it still is summer for a while long, I will make due of the blues waiting for me to take a dip, long or short, call it even a sport if anyone would be asking, while I am in there, water around me splashing. The perfect summer’s fun which can only become undone, during a snow filled winter.

“Beach, finally here!” Gun Roswell 

 

Take a short walk along the long pier
Dip your toes into the water when you get there 
Feel the summer breeze on your burning skin
Let the holiday feeling finally sink in 

Stay a while at the very end of the pier
Let the sunny rays wash away any fears 
Of letting go of the mundane And embrace the upon coming fun day 

Take a slow walk back to the beach 
Then turn to look at the glimmering sea
Just remember you can always return 
Until it’s time for the leisure time to adjourn 

Pool in Winter

Early hours in the morning
The water warm and inviting
The turquoise by the sun lightened
No use the urge fighting
Just jump in and enjoy it!

Motorised!

“Sometimes, walking won’t do.” Gun Roswell

They are motorised
Some may even tantalise
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring

“I want one!”

Bench on the Acropolis

“A hot seat, right there in the sun!” Gun Roswell

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit

Porvoo River

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

Acropolis in Athens

“Something about history, about the good old times?” Gun Roswell

Acropolis of Athens
Who knows, what happens
In this place of fun
And place of knowledge

The Parthenon, Propylaia and Erechtheion
Just to name a few of them
One named after the mighty
And powerful Athene Nike

Join us on this uphill travel
Maybe some mysteries will unravel
While roaming the ancient ruins
Like some pilgriming druids

Palma Nova

“Sometimes, when seaside, take a ride, it’s fun!” 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

Helsinki Skyline

“The city ever changing, but some things simply remain the same” Gun Roswell

Helsinki, Finland

The city might be small in comparison to so many others, but there is no reason, to neglect and not to check out what it has to offer.

It may lay out there far in the north, but having its own mirth, with old school buildings, surrounded by the blue seas, the pearl of the Baltic Sea in a way, so do, stay for a while.

The gadgets small too, with a more than few sights to see, or then a tour around the city skyline, on a boat small but with terrific views, which ever way you choose to travel, this place, will not leave you in peril.

Monuments and the Market

“Travel the world, see, everything!” Gun Roswell

Exactly at noon
When the scorching sun
Hits the zenith
The local marketplace
Starts buzzing with life
As the tourist and other types
Come out to play

There is no shade
And certainly, no shame

As to:

What you do
What you wear
What you eat
Who you look at
Who you talk to
Who you ignore

And don’t forget
The glorious set
Of monuments, buildings
History of any era
When you roam around
The old school agora

The water and sun
Can also be a source of fun
When the day is ending
Then, consider some time
In the harbour spending
