World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

“If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears” Cesare Pavese

Havis Amanda

The bare naked lady
She’s none too shady
They call her “Manta”
Sounds like Fanta
But she is of royalty
Pledging her our loyalty
At least each May Day
When it is time to play

Market Life

If you’re looking for a bargain
Or just some local jargon
You need not to far go
Just take it slow
At the Market Square
The shopkeepers are always fair

Harbour

When on your way
Pick up a cup of java
At the multipurpouse cafe
It may taste like molten lava
But Finns love their coffee
The darker and stronger
You can’t go wrong
And be labeled a softie!

Wide Angle

Heading towards the city centre
The tram tracks calling for adventure
The hustle and bustle on the street
Just the thing for a photo op and a tweet

Tight Angle

Arriving to the city
Feeling kind of giddy
A greeting view behind the barge
The Cathedral’s trio arch

Mundane Monday

“I now find magic in the mundane. I’m also more creative – better able to look beyond the obvious and come up with new story angles” Deborah Norville

Harbour in Blue

Blue waters
Blue skies
Blue harbour
Bluest of blue
In my eyes

Earth (The Daily Post)

“Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems” Rainer Maria Rilke

In the Horizon

Laying on the soft sand
Staring into the horizon
Dreaming of a foreign land
Will I find something grand?
Is there a greater plan?
But, too lazy to leave this strand
So, at least I will get a tan

velogatti-5

“A good photograph is knowing where to stand” Ansel Adams

Velogatti 

The people stood and stared
The driver just waved and glared
Proud of his shiny white steed

“Is it a bike?
Is it a car?
No,
It’s a Velogatti,
A bike for the smart-ty!”

The beast of burden
Is quite determined
To frolic in the garden

Panorama

In a panorama
There is no drama
Cool and calm before you
Birds flying above in two
Enjoy the cool and blue
