World Wide Wednesday in Cyprus
“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – Babs Hoffman
Cavemen
Carved in stone
Possibly with bone
Record of the past
Made to last

World Wide Wednesday in Cyprus
“Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey.” – Babs Hoffman
Down the hill
Down the hill
Feel the chill
Enjoy the thrill!

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting, People Watching
On the seaside
By the roadside
As time slowly
Passes me by
Watching
Observing
Recording
Conversations,
Word exchanges
Life
Of the passers-by

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting on the Curve
As I am
Sitting on the curve
And watching
The cars swerve
It’s getting difficult
To keep my nerve

Seat Sunday (2016-07-24)
“When in Cyprus, sit like the cypriots do”
Sitting with lots of Stuff
It’s meal time
But, the table
Is not fine
Lots of stuff
Laying about
With a huff
Giving a shout
“Oi, you!
Get here
Ass in tow
Clear your grime!”
“Didn’t you hear the chime?
It’s nearly din din time,
And, my patience
Is running low
And, as far as I know
These ‘antiques’
Are just for show”
“So,
Unless you got
Something eatable
In that pot
Off with the lot
I have to put
Some grub
On the table!”
“Shut up,
Sit down
And enjoy
Your meal!”

Day Nine: “A Pop of Color” — Incorporate Color
The colors in our photographs are evocative and rouse emotions within us. Color can elevate a mundane image into something beautiful and intriguing, and can tell a tale within the frame.
A Pop of Colour (WP Developing Your Eye I)
“If you’re quiet, you’re not living. You’ve got to be noisy and colorful and lively” Mel Brooks
Warning Sign
The harsh winter painted in white
Some say, the nature did it out of spite
But those who dare to venture
Into the great white open nature
Heed the coloured warning
Or else, your life may be storming

Green Shutters
In a distant land
A white house stands
Some say quite simple
But it has a unique dimple
One window with shutters
Painted, with the colour of green
The passersby may stutter
But I say, it’s the prettiest one I’ve seen

Day Three: “Scale” — Experiment with Size
* A bakery in New Orleans, Louisiana, serves its famous king cake with a little plastic baby hidden inside. Here is one such figurine, posing on an iron fence in the Garden District during Mardi Gra
* Today’s Tip: Don’t just point and shoot. Observe your scene before pressing the shutter and consider how all the elements in the frame interact with one another. Make an object appear larger through a ground-level POV. Place two things side by side in an unexpected way.
Scale
“I went into a clothing store, and the lady asked me what size I was. I said, ‘Actual’. I’m not to scale” Demetri Martin
Left Standing
I am still standing
After all these years
The times have been demanding
Shed my share of tears
But growing stronger
The much longer
I here keep on standing

“Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realize it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it” Sai Baba
Songs and All Types of Tunes for Throwback Thursday
On Thursdays we walk down memory lane and dig deeply into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind. For these posts, I have chosen some of my personal favourites. Some of them may tickle the funny bone, some even provoke thoughts and some of them will give you a view of the world in photographs taken by yours truly.
This week’s digging into the archives, has produced a set of posts related to songs. Well, at least rhyming tales and poetry, but they do carry a tune:P Enjoy!
