“The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully” Henry Rollins

Just Another Week Day in November

Oh how time flies
Right in front of my eyes
Like a time laps movie
Running by the history

The sun rises and sun sets
Fluffy clouds a wonder
Rain and thunder
Making the ground wet

It used to be January
Now it is already November
Maybe it was just imaginary
Or just something I remember

Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world

“Don’t shoot what it looks like, shoot what it feels like” David Alan Harvey

Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world

Photography is a hobby very near and dear to me. I have been shooting pics since I was ten, when I got my first pocket camera by Kodak. I used to make black and white photos in the school photo lab every week and was known as the school “pix snapper”, recording history whenever there was an event or another. Of course in those days, we used film for the cameras and working part time was the best option to get my film rolls. In today’s world, photography is more common of course and easy access to cameras even on mobile phones makes anyone a “photographer”.

After starting my blog this year and posting my photos on Instagram, Flickr and 500px I can totally relate to this quote, since even the English language can be difficult for some to understand, but a photograph seems to be a simple way to share one’s art.

“Photography is the only language that can be understood anywhere in the world” Bruno Barbey

The Daily Post Photo challenge: Ornate

Forget about subdued and restrained. This week, let’s embrace the breathtakingly extravagant.

“A lot of designs are grounded in history even though they tend to be clean and not overly ornate. The sculptural form is often historic. If you come to our exhibit, a lot of things will look familiar” Ellen Lupton

Ornate, The Natural History Museum of London

A building
Filled with beauty and history
A home to many a -logy
Botany, entomology, mineralogy
Paleontology and zoology

You may bump into a dinosaur
But don’t worry, it will not roar
Explore the various galleries
Where many of Earth’s memories
Are housed

Public engagement and education
Plenty of research and curation
The Darwin centre with specimen
The Attenborough Studio for conservation
Plenty to choose from

Caturday, 2015-11-07

The cat in the mirror
The sleek feline figure
Eyes blue as sapphire
Her spirit filled with fire
Herself does she admire

Cats, cats, cats
I see a lots of cats
Cats over there
And cats over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

Oh, look at the pretty cat
In the window there
What window, where?
Over there, over here
Even more cats
They are everywhere

Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-06

Posted on by

Posted in Fav Foto Friday

“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!”

“Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution” Ansel Adams

Favourite Photo of the Week, 2015-11-06

Monolith

Tall, dark and mysterious
Standing by itself, all serious
Staring at it, getting nervous
Or maybe just a little delirious
…

“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

Leaves of November

The colours may be fading
The cold nights not aiding
The circle of life still a fact
Use camouflage to distract?

Winter knocking at the door
Trying hard to ignore
Yearn for life weighing more
Growing stronger than before

Writing 101, Day Four: A story in a single image

Yesterday, you found inspiration in one word and used it as a springboard for a post idea. Images — including photographs and works of art — can also act as starting points for stories, essays, poems, and personal musings. For this exercise, use one image as the creative spark for today’s post. You might use it as the setting for a story or poem, write about how it makes you feel, or describe a memory conjured by it.

“The gargantuan crystalline structure that towered three thousand feet above the lunar surface was both menacing and bewildering to behold”

Monolith

Tall, dark and mysterious
Standing by itself, all serious
Staring at it, getting nervous
Or maybe just a little delirious

The stone called the monolith
Sounding totally apocalyptic
With a background quite cryptic
Its appearance utterly terrific

Forgetting superstition
By my own admission
Completing my mission
Trusting my intuition
And touching the stone

“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings” Victor Hugo

In Flight

Flying through the air
Without a single care
A beauty with flare
Innocence unaware

Flapping her wings
While the wind sings
Sky feels like spring
A scene well worthy
Of kings
