Travel Thursday in Kos Island: Bikes, Carts, Mopeds and Scooter-mobiles

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

Velo-Bike

When you feel like
Your feet are on a strike
Just hop on a Velo-Bike
Motorized fun
Under the sun
No, this is not a pun
Just ride, ride, ride
Your Velo-Bike

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

Golf Cart

To fool the neighbours
And all other strangers
You hired a cart
Which was quite smart
Added a bag of clubs
Actually some look alike stubs
Hopped inside the vehicle
While the other looked unbelievable
Maybe even a little jealous
Because of this helluva
Trick you made up

August Days in Espoo for Daily Photo

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins

Rosehip

Lush and pink
Totally in sync
The little rose
In a pose
Hidden
In the green leaves
In August’s eve

Voice

“Can you hear my voice?”
It asked

“Listen to my voice”
It continued

“Walk towards my voice”
It beckoned

Finally, standing there in front of the wall, with a can of spray in my hand, I had made my statement

“I hear a voice”

Ride a Bike

Ride a bike
Take a hike
Watch out for spikes
As your vehicle they can strike
Stay out of fights
Other wise
Do what you like
So go
Ride a bike

Day Two: “Street” — Establishing Shot

* Today, let’s focus on a street. It can be a quiet road blanketed in snow, an alley covered with murals, or a busy avenue where pedestrians weave between cars and motorbikes.

On the Streets of Helsinki

“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive” Carrie Fisher

Ride Your Bike

Ride, ride, ride your bike
Gently down the street
But watch out for the spikes
Or you will end up on your feet

To haul its cargo

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Little convertible
You are so flexible
And very transportable
But even still
The genuine article

A bike is a bike
Of course, of course!

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

When crossing the street
Better be quick on your feet
The bikerettes are on the move
In their vehicles of blue
With wheels of two
