“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list.” – Susan Sontag

World Wide Wednesday Presents: London, Verbania, Athens

On the busy streets of London
There is no time for boredom
While roaming the ancient ruins for Greece
Breathe and let the moment freeze
Sailing the gorgeous lakes in Italy
Watching the clouds filling the sky to affinity
Sightseeing, travelling or shopping
There is no time for stopping
Around the wide wide world
Me and my camera are hurled

Posted in Fav Foto Friday /Fav Foto Friday #20

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!”

 

Painter gone for a break?

“A photograph is usually looked at – seldom looked into” Ansel Adams

Favourite Photo Friday , 2015-12-11

For this week’s favourite photograph, I have chosen something from the Rhodes Island collection, posted in the World Wide Wednesday series on, you guessed it, Wednesday!

I have titled this photo as “Painter gone for a break?”

There is just something to be said about a black and white photograph, a colour one can never capture the finer nuances like a B/W can.

Enjoy!

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart” Confucius  

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Rhodes Island, Part Four

Rhodes Island, Greece
A small piece
Of our history
Beyond the centuries
The old town
Considered the crown
The beach
At your reach
Ixia, Kamiros or Lindos
A small drive with the bus
Everything you need
On the small island of Greece

Or feeling more right

The Erechtheion temple priestesses, Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Acropolis

Four ladies of the temple
Each other do they resemble
The guardians on the porch
Standing tall with their torch
In this place of worship
For the Greeks of ancient

Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece

Delphi

The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi
