Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-01), London, England

Happy 2016 Everyone!

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shoot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit the number to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this week’s Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you are having some fun during the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

And, as the quote says: “The only photograph I regret, is the one I did not take”.

For this particular post, I have chosen two taken in England, London.
Continuing on the travel theme, more 2015 favourites in parts two, three, four and five.
Go and check them out!

Enjoy!

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Through the Looking Glass (Daily Photo 2015-12-31)

Sunrise or sunset
High up for a reset
Destination, unknown
Flying, to a different zone
A new year
New destinations
There is no fear
Only new sensations

Staring out the window
Reflections of the past and now
Mirrored in the looking glass
Knowing only, time will pass
New year
New hopes
Prepaired on full gear
Despite the slippery slopes

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware” Martin Buber

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Part Three

“The Natural History Museum in London is a museum exhibiting a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history”

If you are in doubt
Then go and check out
Visit the place of history
And follow the whole story
Of where we came from

“Travelers repose and dream among my leaves” William Blake

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Part Two

Over the rooftops
To the hustle and bustle
Of the streets of London
In just a few hops
A few old castles
And a famous dungeon
Hop on a bus
Without much fuss
Follow the lines
And you’ll be fine
Eyes wide open
Seeing more than hoping
In the evening
You are dreaming
Of how much more
The next day has in store

“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train” Oscar Wilde

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Part One

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee
Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

“Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine” Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Basking in the Sun (Daily Photo 2015-12-28)

The working day has begun
Must admit it, just no fun
Looking out the window
Seeing cold weather and snow

Just for a moment
My mind wanders
Back to holidays
Back to the time
When I was
Basking in the sun

Dolls (Mundane Monday)

Poetry and Photography
Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“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.”

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #39

dolls
“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Dolls (Mundane Monday)

Eyes staring
Almost glaring
Never moving
Only viewing

Toward the future?
Or into the past?

No one knows
What on goes
In a doll’s mind
Just be kind

You may be surprised
Or even, hypnotized

They may be mundane
Objects d’art even
Dolls in the window
But no one really knows

“Take a load off”

Time Out (Seat Sunday)

Sitting silently
Watching
People pass by
I ama
Out of time
Floating
In a bubble
As I am sitting
On my bench
Watching
Life happen
Trying
Not to flinch
