Around the World in Black and White Presents: London in the Rain

World Wide Wednesday: Black and White Photography

 

“A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else”

Around the World in Black and White Presents: London in the Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee
Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

SL-WEEK 9: School

Photography and Poetry

Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

 

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”Albert Einstein

SL-WEEK 9: School

On our way to school
Like any good kid should

But

Hope nobody noticed
We went into hiding instead

Today we are playing hookey
Eating all the cookies

While everyone else is away

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 35 Wrap up

Lucile De Godoy hosting Photo Rehab, The Clinic

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 35 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.

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week:

Week 35: Wrap up 

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind with Last Days of Summer

“Gunr Roswell from Rantings of a Third Kind brings poetry this week matched with stunning monochromes to interpret the (likely) common feeling of the approaching end of summer in the Northern hemisphere.”

Last Days of Summer

Photography and Poetry

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

 

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

Last Days of Summer

The end of August
Time to adjust
To the coming of Fall
No use trying to stall
The cold and rain
Will soon gain
The sun rays are few
Feelings of blue
Until the foliage
In multiple colours
Will brighten the days
Get you out of the haze
And life is bright
Once more

“Very curious, very curious,” said Passepartout to himself, on returning to the steamer. “I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.”

Around the World in Black and White Presents: Fifth Edition: Cyprus

The island of mystery
The island of beauty
Come take a trip with me
In black and white photography

Beach Life

Poetry and Photography

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul” Wyland

Beach Life

The sun in the sky
Mind almost as high
Finally relaxing
Feelings of taxing
Letting go
Taking things slow
Down on the beach
Life is simple
To say the least

of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.” Ansel Adams

Travelling around the island
In the colours of black and white
What could be more inspiring
Or feeling more right
