Leave no stone unturned” Euripides

Carved in Stone 

Dwellings, carved in stone
By inhabitants, long since gone
Now a testament for all known
Like gemstones on a throne

Around the World in Photographs: London in Black and White

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

Buildings At Dusk (Daily Photo)

Tall buildings
Simple,
Without gilding
Built from glass
Possibly to last
Piercing the nightly sky
Lit up pretty
And aiming high

The Daily Post: (Extra)ordinary Part Three

shadowy-selfie-2    stages    shadowy-selfie

The days are getting shorter
Reflections on the water
The last of the reminders
Of the times much kinder

The games of summer played
The tanned skin to rest laid
Tall shadows now displayed
Soon enough will fade

Because,
When in October
The cold shoulder
Of winter
Soon will reenter

hard-and-soft
