“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller

World Wide Wednesday Presents:Athens, Acropolis

Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge

Climbing up the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Of wisdom and history
Shrouded in mystery

Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets

Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

“Once a year go somewhere you have never been before” Dalai Lama

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Helsinki City Centre in Black and White

Welcome to Hel-sinki!
Did you land here quite unexpectedly?
Please, have a look around
It’s more pleasant than it sounds
Nice, clean, safe and poetic
Our small town of the idyllic
We’re way up North
But well while the worth
Of making a short trip
Even with a tall ship
So stay a while, take a look around
You may be surprised of what you found

London Odds and Ends

Photography & Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

“Keep calm and go to London”

London Odds and Ends

Going out for Fish and Chips
Maybe viewing a solar eclipse
Or shopping for model toys
Even looking for the real McCoys
London is the place to be
With so many things to see
After a busy day on the streets
Walking, biking or on the bus
Step into the local pub
Lift up your feet
Relax without a fight
And enjoy the night

“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford” Samuel Johnson

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Natural History Museum, London

“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

“There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere” Vivienne Westwood

Around the World in Black and White Presents: London

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
