World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Baskets filled with goodies
Hats, trousers and hoodies
Maybe even a few cookies
Because it’s time to play hookie

Bikes with motors are fine
When you want to avoid that grind
But a manual pedaller
May be a great leveller
When your pulse needs elevating
And your blood, circulating

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Where there is a lamppost
There is a will
The best parking host
For a bike to stay still

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

Ride on a Bike

Rent a street bike
And around the Österreich
You can easily hike
Or at least,
The streets of Vienna!

“A good photograph is knowing where to stand” Ansel Adams

Velogatti 

The people stood and stared
The driver just waved and glared
Proud of his shiny white steed

“Is it a bike?
Is it a car?
No,
It’s a Velogatti,
A bike for the smart-ty!”

The beast of burden
Is quite determined
To frolic in the garden

Sweet April showers do spring May flowers” Thomas Tusser

Spring is finally here (Weekly Photo Breakdown) 

Down by the Pier

At the end of a really long pier
There is a price in the form of a beer

What?

Well, it’s warm and the sun is shining
What could be more defining
Of spring?
