Ye Old Shopping Mall
What ever your heart may desire…
Well, then you’ve come to the wrong place
But we do like to cater to the buyer
In this old historic space
They commonly call
The Market Hall

Harbour Area
A slow boat to Sweden
Or a catamaran to Tallinn
If you are looking for Eden
Well, maybe
But you better be all in!

Day Six: “Landscape” — Crop Your Image
Today, let’s walk in the footsteps of masters like Ansel Adams and focus on landscape photography.
Landscapes generally focus on wide, vast depictions of nature and all of its elements, from formations to weather. In this genre of photography, you won’t find much of a human presence: nature itself is the subject. A focus on nature isn’t mandatory, however — you can also capture a sweeping panorama of a city.

My homestead
My homestead
Where I get rested
Where I can clear my head
The place where I am fed
And each night
Go to bed

Day Five: “Moment” — Capture Motion
* Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s the small moments, this motion, that we love to document.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life” Omar Khayyam
Pouring Rain
The perfect moment
Where life is moving
In slow motion
Every component
In unison

“In my photographs it is apparent that there was no posing at the moment I released the shutter” Jerzy Kosinski
Happy
Sad face
Feeling crappy
“Don’t worry, be happy”
She said
And jumped off the sofa
Sprinkled fairy dust
The scent of ambrosia
“In this you must trust!”
And in a wink of an eye
Without a goodbye
She was gone
Lingering happiness
Replacing the crappiness
And finally
A smile on my face

Colour Coordination
If you want to make a statement
You need to be colour coordinated
Dressed in matching outfits
With all of your surroundings

Apples
“How about them apples, then?”
Asked Sven
Sinking his teeth into one
He knew he had just won
“I’ll give this a full ten!”

Mayweeds
The flowerbeds’ seed
Looks like weed
But, pretty indeed
Let’s call them
Mayweeds
Even, if it’s summer!

Mushrooms
Look what the rain brought:
Mushrooms, and not store bought
Popping up from the ground
Making a squishing sound
And waiting to be found
