“He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall” J.R.R. Tolkien
Nightfall, City Lights
The soft coloured city lights
Reflecting on the water
In the darkened nights
Of the month of October
Standing on the pier
No one else is near
Reflecting the day’s events
Before I finally relent
And start my journey home

“Sunset is still my favorite color, and rainbow is second” Mattie Stepanek
Last Sunset of October
On my way high, high up
Ever higher
Closer to the sky
On a smooth elevator ride
Up to the 16th floor I fly
From this ocean view
Reserved for only a few
Enjoying the last rays of sun
The last of the sunsets
Of the month of october
Happy Halloween Everyone!
“Scary monsters, super creeps, Keep me running, running scared” David Bowie
Scary Monsters and Super Freaks
Darkness surrounds me
In every corner do I see
Scary monsters lurking
Soon enough, freaking
Footfalls getting closer
I look over my shoulder
Fight or flight?
Did not even bring a knife
Picking up the pace
Looking for a hiding place
Nothing can be found
I turn around
Standing paralyzed
Totally petrified
Watching helplessly
Facing the enemy
Feeling hopeless
When a dark figure approaches
Huffing and puffing
Its legs scuffing
It stops in front of me
Looking at me, curiosly
Its mouth opening suddenly
“Got a light deary?”

“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

Could not, so I let it loose

I have picked to peruse for thee
Enjoy them all, why don’t you

Fabulous Friday, 2015-10-30
Fabulous Friday has arrived
Giving it a big high five day
Early morning, early rise
A gorgeous sunrise
The air cool and crisp
Leaves covered with frost
With the moon peaking out
Time to holler, time to shout
The nature dressed
With colours of red
Sunshine reflected
On each surface
The flaring colours
The autumn odors
The last Friday of October
Truly has been a rock-tober

Enjoying the view

Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

History written in stone
Time to get my mind blown
Hiking up the many stairs
Counting my steps in pairs
The many ancient ruins
On top of the mountain
The reward of the effort
Which made me sweat a lot

“Photography to me is catching a moment which is passing, and which is true”
Jacques-Henri Lartigue
Blue Moment
That moment at dawn
Has you quite drawn
The sky and nature
Of one blue creature
The coolest of blues
The nature in hue…
…A natural true blue
