“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous

Take a Load off

A bench of stone, wood or wire
Can get you out of the dire
When feeling spent and tired
Take a load off and enjoy the fire

Feathered Friends

Our feathered friends
The windy air bend
Flying to the world’s end
For their leisure time to spend

Vehicles of Various Kinds: Two

They are motorized
Some may even tantalize
All vehicles great and small
Some faster, some crawl
Dented or ship shape
You cannot escape
Stopping and glaring
With nostrils flaring

“I want one!”

Enjoying the view
Reserved for a few
Looking at the sky
Closing my eyes
Stepping back in time
In the beautiful Delphi

World Wide Wednesday Presents: 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

Charioteer of Delphi, Delphi, Greece

Delphi

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

Charioteer

Welcome to Hell-sinki!

Welcome to up North
Where the polar bears roam…

No wait! Wrong intro! Let’s try again…

Welcome, to the city that never sleeps
Well, actually, we like to go to bed really early….

Ok, one more time:

Welcome to Helsinki!
A quaint little town up North
I am sure you will enjoy!

That’s it?
Yes, what’s wrong?
Nothing, sounds a little dull…
Well, let’s let the travellers decide!
