Day Seven: “Big” — A Point of View

Today, let’s go big. Photograph something of massive size, inside or outside. Get creative with your shot: Capture all or just part of the subject. Place it in the foreground so it takes up the entire frame. Or shoot it from afar so it appears smaller — yet still prominent.

“We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us” Winston Churchill

A tall glass house of blue
Possibly quite see through
Hardly qualified as a skyscraper
But with many a
Windows, doors and elevators
It’s easily a wannabe simulator

Smokey the pipe
Played a bagpipe
Because it was the hype
And just his type

Blue Moment in Winter 

Nature cold and frozen
As the cold wind blows in
The time stands still
In a moment of blue

Statuesque 

When in Athens
Do as the Spartans
Run a marathon
Just for fun
And maybe erected
Something statuesque
For your benefit

Blue Mountains 

Not quite the Himalayas
But something close to the playa
If you are a player
Then up the hill I will race ya

Blue Belles 

The two blue belles
With their unique smell
Will put you under a spell
There is no use to rebel
Just relax, and in the moment dwell

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Good Old Times

In the greenest forest
A little blue cottage
Nothing too exotic
The outside not so polished
In this time and space
A peaceful resting place
Before the world again to face
And returning to the rat race

“There is no blue without yellow and without orange” Vincent Van Gogh

Blue Reflections 

The sky and clouds
Like a cool blue shroud
Woven across glass and steel
Looks as cold as it feels
But if you touch the surface
You are in for a surprise
It is indeed, actually warm

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?
