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

“In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers” Lucile De Godoy

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind:
“Gun from Rantings of a Third Kind is in full swing for Autumn colors, inspired by Groucho Marx. And if you’re sad for summer is almost over, she prescribes: Keep Calm and Go to London, at least with her photos.”
“A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow” Djuna Barnes
Shadow play
Playing hide and seek
With the part of me
That is truly unique
If you want to complete
The whole picture
Then look closely
In the image of ghostly
There might be a fracture
Which reveals all
“A true Englishman doesn’t joke when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager.” Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days

“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
Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 9
“If you were waiting for a sign, this is it”
‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – THE SIGN
Whether looking for a wine tasting
Or a payphone to call back home
You may find something amazing
When you are on the roam
Follow all the signs
They will lead you to a price
But you may be surprised
When the credit card bill arrives

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 36 Wrap up
The Photo Rehab is a great community to share photos, learn new techniques, discover new talents, and connect.
In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.

Trains, Planes, Automobiles and a Bicycle
On the open road
With a heavy load
A location in mind
Trying to unwind
Travelling on wheels
Has its appeals
But getting somewhere far
In only a car
Can be a chore
Changing the score
Picking up some wings
Has its wins
But if you want some style
And sail up the Nile
A boat or a yacht
Is worth getting stuck
If you want to do it old style
And travel with a big smile
The coolest way
With the hips in sway
Doing some recycling
Then, pedal a bicycle
“See me waving ‘see ya later’ as I disappear over the horizon” Crocodile Dundee
Walkabout
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall
Never a moment too bad for a stroll
Do not the weather use
As a poor, poor excuse
Unpack your wellingtons
Unhide your dancing shoes
Into to the wide world venture
Whether walking, running or dancing
Might even do a little prancing
Your life soon a great adventure
