World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca, Part One
Palma Nova
The sweetest Rosa
Of the island Mallorca
Welcomes
The weary traveler
A world’s passenger
Come
And take a load off
Forget all that scoff
Enjoy the sunny beach
Watch the waves breach
Colourful and vibrant
Like a water hydrant
The little village by the sea
No better place to be

Poetry and Photography
“I love September, especially when we’re in it” Willie Stargell
September in Suburbia, Part One
Sunshine, rain, a rainbow
Blue skies, dark skies, a rainbow
The weather in constant turmoil
Life in constant recoil
Colours on the leaves turning
From green to bright red flaring
Observing through the viewfinder
All of Mother Nature’s wonder
World Wide Wednesday Presents:Athens, Acropolis
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller
World Wide Wednesday Presents:Athens, Acropolis
Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge
Climbing up the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Of wisdom and history
Shrouded in mystery
Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets
Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

“Once a year go somewhere you have never been before” Dalai Lama
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
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Natural History Museum, London
“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford” Samuel Johnson
World Wide Wednesday Presents: Natural History Museum, London
“The Natural History Museum in London is a museum exhibiting a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history”
If you are in doubt
Then go and check out
Visit the place of history
And follow the whole story
Of where we came from

Photo 101: Day Seven : Big & Point of View
Today, let’s go big. Whether inside or outside, photograph something of massive size. Feel free to interpret big in your own way, and 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.
