Giraffes in Helsinki — From My Horizon
In a corner on the balcony of the natural museum at Helsinki two giraffes look out. I share this post with The Daily Post´s weekly Photography Challenge: Corner.
Croatia — Kerry Murray Photography | Travel Photography in Portugal
We almost didn´t go to Croatia, as we´d heard that wild camping is illegal and that the authorities are super strict and take some sort of peverse pleasure in rooting out campers and making life miserable. But then we decided just to go and see how it was, and if it sucked, we´d just keep […]

Calm Before the Storm
Posted in Daily Photo
“It’s always most calm,
Before the storm”
Gun Roswell
Calm Before the Storm
Before it gets colder, there is always warm
Before it starts raining, the grey clouds will form
Before it gets safer, there is always harm
Before you get to argue, remember, this is the norm
Because,
Where ever there is calm
You will soon find, a storm
Paradise Found

“If you go anywhere,
even paradise,
you will miss your home”

Paradise Found
It was just covered with frost
In the end of a very long autumn
This was what it cost
To get back from the bottom
Paradise,
It was never lost
It was, just forgotten
Closed for Summer

“What good is the warmth of summer,
without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.”
― John Steinbeck
Closed for Summer
The sign stated boldly:
“Closed for summer”
Oh, what an unexpected bummer!
And here, I rented this hummer
To roam around the countryside
In a built up haze of wonder!
Pacing around the yard
Knowing full well I could not get far
A smile upon my face
Yes, this is the place
I would make my case
“What if I just break in?
Surely, that would not be a great sin?
After squatting for a week or two,
Just leave a kind thank you note and a payment too?
That would teach them a lesson
Not with the tourist of summer to be messin'”
“Closed for summer my derrière!
From now on, this summer just got merrier!”
Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress (two)

“When in Finland, sit where the Finns do”
Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress
Green Seat
A little lone seat
Painted in green
Out here in the heat
Maybe old fashioned
And a little compassion
Add some graffiti
And it’ll turn out neat!

“When in Finland, sit where the Finns do”
Take a Seat in Suomenlinna Fortress
Hurry, reserve that Seat!
“Hurry, hurry!
Someone will steal
That cool seat
And we’ll be left standing
On our two feet!”

Pink Cafe
Cafe in a pink house
Somewhere, thereabouts
Sit down, have a coffee
With a bun, laced with toffee

“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia”
Ellen Hopkins
Sepia
The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last
Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart
