“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”

Seat in Town
When finally found
Face in an upside frown
Jumping up and down
Giving a spin in the gown

Helsinki for World Wide Wednesday (2)

“Investment in travel is an investment in yourself”
~ Matthew Karsten
A Whole Lotta Going On
Ferris wheels, Cranes and such
Sure packed a lot of stuff
And into just one image!
Now all we need to do,
Is to put the ball into the scrimmage
Don’t have a clue?
Well, just follow the mimic
I promise, it’s not a gimmick!
Helsinki for World Wide Wednesday (1)

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese
Panorama
The city panorama
Display filled with drama
Well, at least in the words
Of a known Americana!
Mundane Monday: Through the Looking Glass
Posted in Mundane Monday
“I’d thought I wanted to live free of my mundane little cage, but the world outside was feeling more and more hazardous.”
― Shannon Hale
Through the Looking Glass
It’s just glass
See-through mass
Push real hard
And through it you will pass
Seat Sunday: A Seat in the Bar
Posted in Seat Sunday
“A throne is only a bench covered with velvet”
Napoleon Bonaparte
A Seat in the Bar
Sitting in a comfy leathery seat
With your favourite treat
Chosen none too hasty
A glass of something tasty
Enjoy the fleeting moment
Without any sound or comment
It won’t last for long
And then, the moment, is gone

Favourite Photo Friday
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
Sankta Lucia, The bearer of light
Posted in Celebration
“Night walks with a heavy step
Round yard and hearth,
As the sun departs from earth,
Shadows are brooding.
There in our dark house,
Walking with lit candles,
Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia”
Sankta Lucia
The bearer of light
For the future to shine bright
With all her might
Like the shining white knight
Her sword will smite
All the anger and spite
The world to rewrite
Without war or fight
Sankta Lucia
Early Morning Sunrise for TBT
Posted in Throwback Thursday
I had a rule that I had to go to bed before the sun came up. So I used to look up the sunrise times because I thought it would be bad karma to be going to bed as dawn was arriving” Eric Schmidt
Early Morning Sunrise
Early morning Sunrise
What a pleasant surprise
For the early morning riser
What could be finer
Than being greeted by the magnificence
Of mother nature’s excellence
On this fine Winter’s morning
A few more days before holiday glory
Mundane Monday: High Voltage
Posted in Mundane Monday
“Creativity is piercing the mundane to find the marvelous” Bill Moyers
High Voltage
Danger, Danger, beware
Touch it if you dare
You may end up a flare
And into the white light stare
Seat Sunday: A Seat Concrete

“My uncle’s dying wish – he wanted me on his lap. He was in the electric chair”
Rodney Dangerfield
A Seat Concrete
Making, a comfy seat
From a bench made out of concrete
May be, an experience too concrete
But never mind,
I will still, take a seat
