Posted on October 16, 2015 by Gun Roswell

Share each Friday, on your own blog, one photo…or maybe even a gallery of some of your favorite photos that you have taken during the week, that make you smile or that was a great photo capturing opportunity…anything really! And as photographers are often known to say, “The best camera is, the one that you have with you!”

“You don’t take a photograph, you make it” Ansel Adams

Fav Foto Friday #13

How to choose a favourite
Do I even dare of it?
I love all “my offspring”
From early morning
To late of the night
I keep up the good fight
For my photographs
What more could I ask

“No spring nor summer’s beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one Autumnal face…” John Donne

October Sunrise

… The longer you stare
Into the bright glare
The red gets in control
Devouring the sky whole

October Sunrise

Sunrise, higher than high
In the early October sky
Over the morning clouds
The sun has spread its shroud
Blues and reds playing in a mix
Eyes staring completely transfixed
The cool crisp air caressing
Almost feels like singing…

“When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.” George R.R. Martin

Friday, Sunset in Suburbia

Sitting at the window
In my little house
In deepest of suburbia
Watching the clouds
As they pass by
The sun slowly setting
Disappearing behind
The tall buildings
I keep on clicking
Capturing the turn
Of the brightest day
Into the darkest of nights

“When walking through the ‘valley of shadows,’ remember, a shadow is cast by a Light” Austin O’Malley

Shadow Play in October Part Two

The October sun’s shadows
Casting tall and narrow
The darkened figures
Painting abstract pictures
Onto every surface

Carefully you listen
But the only sound
Is the soft whistle
Of the Autumn leaves
Landing on the ground

Nightfall in Suburbia

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” L.M. Montgomery

Nightfall in Suburbia

The expectance of storm and rain
Transformed into a beautiful play
The sunset beyond the treeline
Never looked so fine
The colours painted in the sky
Catering both mind and eye
A perfect ending for the day
I wish I had more time to stay

“With my middle-class metabolism, the suburbs were where I always wanted to be” Susan Isaacs

September in Suburbia, Part Seven

Night time in Suburbia
There is no time for hysteria
Streetlights the only spots of bright
Against the darkest of night
Sidewalks empty and quiet
A few signs marked private
Walking past the darkened windows
Occupants asleep, dreaming of tomorrow
The moon hiding behind clouds
No one to see, no one to watch
So, stepping on the grass is allowed
If I through away my crutch
Take a little chance
And do a little barefoot dance
In the middle of the night
On the streest of Suburbia

September in Suburbia, Part Three

Roaming around the Hood
Because the weather was really good
Clouds floating in the blue sky
Wishing if only I could fly
The sun warm on my skin
Melting the coldest of Finns
Colours burning bright
Ideas taking flight
Snap, click, snap, click
Hoping to score some great pics
So here they are
I didn’t walk too far
But still got a great bunch
In a time it takes to have lunch

“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
