Word Wide Wednesday Presents, Porvoo, Finland, Part Two
The old town of Porvoo
A home away from home
Flew there like a crow
Stated ,when in Rome…
Found the nearest cafe
Which was close to the bay
Enjoyed the sunny day
Until turn of eve
When it was time to leave

Flew there like a crow
Stated ,when in Rome…

Posted in week #13 of Camera Lucida Photo Challenge, Reflections
“It’s always interesting to look at reflections…are they really the same as the reality?
How many times did you look at your own reflection and wondered if that’s how the world sees you…?”
“The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face”
William Makepeace Thackeray
Camera Lucida: Reflections
Glass, wood, concrete
How this scene to complete?
Add a dash of colour
Maybe a selfie to follow?
Through the looking glass
Time slowly will pass
The observer’s delight
Is the turning of the light
Scenery, water, skies
Even a high rise
At this altitude
The surprise is an absolute

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

World Wide Wednesday Presents, Delphi, Parts Three
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, Parts Two
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

“I don’t want it good. I want it Tuesday” Jack Warner
Just another Tuesday
Early wake up call
Sets the rolling of the ball
Day is about to begin
Also for this Finn
Driving into traffic
Nothing too terrific
Reaching the office
Exchanging a little gossip
And having a mild smirk
Before diving into work
When the lunch bell tolls
It is time to haul
That rigid body for a break
And knock out the aches
Leave that work console
Go on a little stroll
Down by the pier
The sunlight revere
Survey your surroundings
Before returning to the boundaries
Of the office

Photo challenge for PhoTrabloggers Mundane Monday
“Monday is great if I can spend it in bed. I’m a man of simple pleasures, really” Arthur Darvill
Mundane Monday
Just another Manic Monday
Certainly not my fun day
Back in the office again
Simply cannot explain
It just happens
Always after weekend
Leaving me baffled
I cannot help myself
And leaves me overwhelmed
I just end up here
In this stratosphere
Called work

World Wide Wednesday Presents: Mallorca Part Three, Odds and Ends
Taking a ride on a train
On this island of Spain
Driving down a narrow lane
Watching the local terrain
Sun is shining, no rain
Sipping on champagne
Feeling very entertained
Passing the mountain chain
And the flattest of plains
There is nothing mundane
About this trip across the domain
“Travel becomes a strategy for accumulating photographs” Susan Sontag
