By the dull world is ill understood”

The black swan
Swimming at dawn
Her dark shadow
Contrast to snow

Beauties in flight
Whitest of knights
From the blue skies
Watch them dive

Majestic and regal
Equal to an eagle
A bird of the royals
Worthy of the nobles

The Erechtheion temple priestesses, Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Four ladies of the temple
Each other do they resemble
The guardians on the porch
Standing tall with their torch
In this place of worship
For the Greeks of ancient

Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece

Delphi

The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

“Because I’m so big, you have to look at me. I think of myself as a monument. But sometimes I like to feel small” Shaquille O’Neal

Havis Amanda

The gorgeous lady
Rising from the sea
Naked as if bathing
Bearing everything
For the eyes to see
Tourists are watching
Cameras are clicking
A true beauty
Reflecting the city
Of Helsinki

“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans

Sunset in November

The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days

Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours

Another Early Morning Sunrise; A Late Night Sunset

 

Another Early Morning Sunrise

After the stormy weather and pouring rain
The sun came out to play again
The early October morning, day called Monday
It seems I can start calling it my fun day

A Late Night Sunset

The eve was about to set
I was once again treated
With a another gorgeous sunset
Today, on this Monday
One of the last days of October
