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!”

Happy 2016 Everyone!

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shoot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit the number to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this week’s Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you are having some fun during the walk down memory lane of 2015 in photographs!

And, as the quote says: “The only photograph I regret, is the one I did not take”.

For this particular post, I have chosen two taken in England, London.
Continuing on the travel theme, more 2015 favourites in parts two, three, four and five.
Go and check them out!

Enjoy!

Time Out (Seat Sunday)

Sitting silently
Watching
People pass by
I ama
Out of time
Floating
In a bubble
As I am sitting
On my bench
Watching
Life happen
Trying
Not to flinch

I am soft
But I have thorns
I feel pretty
In my pink colours
I am hard
Watch out!
Better not land
On my rocks

“It’s the season to be jolly…”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015-12-25

This week I would like to share a photo which was actually not yet posted on my blog, rather only on Instagram. I have been trying to stay off my blog during this holiday week and take some time off during my short stay in the gorgeous island of Lanzarote, but it seems the blog has a will of its own and keeps whispering in my ear to post 😉

There was a special moment up in the sky this week in Puerto del Carmen, which I would like to share with you all. A flashy light kind of a thing (call it a UFO if you will :p) appeared from out of nowhere and stayed a while. It seemed to be shooting a light beam into the sun and making it shine even brighter, if possible. I managed to snap this photograph with my mobile phone while peddling in the pool; lucky shot I guess!

Enjoy!

In the Here and Now

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Now

Sometimes, we get caught up in nostalgia, future fantasy, or both, and we don’t embrace the “now.” For this week’s challenge, take a moment to notice your present, and share a photo of it.

“Change your life today. Don’t gamble on the future, act now, without delay” Simone de Beauvoir

In the Here and Now

Children’s voices
Echoing in the distance
A dog was barking
The sun warm on my skin
The wind blowing softly
Rippling the water slightly
The fluffy white clouds high
Up in the blue sky
Filtering the rays of the sun
Feeling being the only one
Sitting onto the empty bench
Enjoying the silence
As I sit by myself
Letting moments pass by
A soft content sigh
The only sound
In the here and now
To be found

Mundane Monday (REPOST)

Poetry and Photography
Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday

“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
