Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-10-30

Posted on October 30, 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!”

“Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees” Paul Strand

Fav Foto of the Week, 2015-10-30

Many a beautiful sunrises
Too many gorgeous sunsets
Which is the one to choose
Could not, so I let it loose
The photos in number of three
I have picked to peruse for thee
Enjoy them all, why don’t you
I surely did, even the blue

“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” George Eliot

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part Two

The odds and ends
This theme extends
Another mundane Monday
It’s not just an other week day
But a time for little things
Which much joy will bring

The Odds and End of an October’s Day, Part One

An other week started
Living in it full hearted
Caught by the blue moment
In the early morning hours
Much to my enjoyment
It gave me super powers

Working through the days
Enjoying the evening haze
The sunsets and the darkness
With promises
Of a new tomorrow

Photo101 Rehab, The Clinic: Week 43 Wrap Up

“Last year, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.” Lucile De Godoy

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week from Lucile’s site:

Week 43: Wrap up Photo101 Rehab

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind:

“Gun from Rantings of a Third Kind made me jealous of her Monday morning sunrise image from her office! No wonder that her photo was featured. If I get this view, I will apply for a job in Finland! ;-)”

Favourite Photo Of the Week

So many to choose from
I don’t even know
Where they all come from
But I guess it is the how
I am the only one to blame
If some of them gets the fame
This is what I chose this week
Hope it is what you all seek

Monday Morning Sunrise

Standing there, stunned
As the early morning sun
Making quite the display
When, lighting up the skies
In its unique and fiery way

But oh, how time flies
Still, wishing to remain
For a little while at least
But, unfortunately, duty calls
Oh, that necessary beast

Slowly making my way
To another mundane Monday
Secretly hoping of tomorrow
For another piece of beauty
To let me borrow

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“This is a challenge created to find beauty in almost everything. The challenge is simple : find beauty in everyday mundane things, capture the beauty and upload the photographs.”

“Our daily lives are so mundane, we get taken over by what is immediately in front of us and we don’t see beyond that” Benedict Cumberbatch

Mundane Monday, 2015-10-19

She is standing tall
Hoping never to fall
Slicing the sky
Beautiful to the eye
In silver and blue
Didn’t have a clue
Until the sun’s reflection
Caught my attention
A mundane object?
Or something perfect?

Just another Tuesday

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner

Just another Tuesday

Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work

When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill

Mundane Monday

Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

“There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast”
Charles Dickens

Photo 101: Day 20: Day Twenty: Triumph & Contrast

Just black, white or gray
May lead you astray
But find the right contrast
And you may suddenly gasp
At the wonderful blast
Of colours beaming your way
Even on a dull, rainy day
