A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Monument
SL-WEEK 19: Monument
Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece
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

SL-WEEK 19: Monument
Havis Amanda, Helsinki, Finland
“Because I’m so big, you have to look at me. I think of myself as a monument. But sometimes I like to feel small” Shaquille O’Neal
Havis Amanda
The gorgeous lady
Rising from the sea
Naked as if bathing
Bearing everything
For the eyes to see
Tourists are watching
Cameras are clicking
A true beauty
Reflecting the city
Of Helsinki

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #32
“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.”
“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers
Heavy Metal
Up the stairs
Down the stairs
clicking and clacking of heals
On the heavy metal seals
If you’re running fast
The echoes will last
All the way up
Or way down

MUNDANE MONDAY CHALLENGE #32
“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.”
An homage to lifts/elevators everywhere 😉
“I like to make the mundane fabulous whenever I can” Rufus Wainwright
Open Sesame
Abracadabra!
How well do you know your algebra?
It is as easy as one, two, three
Even before you can boot your PC
The carriage of comfort
Has lifted you upwards
Your destination dead ahead
Nothing more left to be said

Posted in week #13 of Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Reflections
“It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?”
“The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face”
William Makepeace Thackeray
Camera Lucida: Reflections
Glass, wood, concrete
How this scene to complete?
Add a dash of colour
Maybe a selfie to follow?
Through the looking glass
Time slowly will pass
The observer’s delight
Is the turning of the light
Scenery, water, skies
Even a high rise
At this altitude
The surprise is an absolute
Photo Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY and in honour of the month of November
A response to Sylvain’s challenge theme of Sunset
“Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.” Richard Paul Evans
Sunset in November
The start of November
Surely, it will be a month to remember
Sunsets most gorgeous
Twice now in as many days
Sky painted in various colours
Shape shifting clouds in abundance
Admiring the beauty of nature’s wonders
For a while only, but what seems like hours

“The biggest thrill wasn’t in winning on Sunday but in meeting the payroll on Monday”
Art Rooney
Lunch Time; Mundane Monday Challenge #31
Lunch time, Office, Espoo, Finland, 2nd of November, 2015
A week full of labour
Still, bearing its fruits
Lunch in the coffee area
No time for feeling inferior
Chums and colleagues take a stance
Together we eat, be merry and laugh
Even time for a wee Monday dance
Of course,
The sweet dessert all the previous enhanced 😛

Posted in Travel Words Bench Photo Challenge, the Bench Series
“I must go in. The fog is rising” EMILY ELIZABETH DICKINSON
Halloween Night on the Bench
Surrounded by misty air
Missed the last fare
Sitting on the park bench
Wishing I had worn a trench
The eerie surroundings
Leaving my heart pounding
Not a soul in sight
On this mystical night
Wrapping my coat tighter
My mood getting lighter
I hear some noises
A car approaches
Finally, I have a ride!

“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
