Bikes in Winter for Daily Photo (three)

I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”

Bikes in Winter

Winter be spite
I am riding my bike
Enjoying the ride
Even down a slippery
And extremely icy slide!

Bikes in Winter

In snow, not cotton
Buried, but not forgotten
Wheels, maybe slightly rotten
Never mind,
I will think of something
For riding my bike
There is no stopping!

Trees,
Without leaves
Pines,
Without vines
Snow
An equalizer

Forest filled with snow
Branches hanging low
Life still or very slow
It’s winter; Hello!?

Winter, winter
Gave me a splinter
Looking, at my finger
Let out, a whimper
Oh, what a stinker
Is this, snowy winter 😉

Frozen,
In space and time
Leaves,
In dozen a dime

On the Streets of Vienna for World Wide Wednesday

“Österreich ist eine kleine Welt, in der die große ihre Probe hält.”
Friedrich Hebbel

Space Oddity in Vienna

“This is ground control: Major Tom, please respond: over”

“This is Major Tom: over”

“Major Tom, we have located your space pod: over”

A moment of silence on the receiving end before response:
“Um… Where exactly did you find it: over”

“City of Vienna, Austria: over”

A muffled “oops” is heard from Major Tom’s end:
“O-K, ground control. Um, any chance you could give me a lift there?: over”

“Roger that M T! By the by, we do not seem to be able to track you on the device: over”

“Well, I am kind of in a situation here…” odd noises heard on the background, “What if I just send my coordinates and you can send vehicle, OK? : over”

In the ground control, quick typing can be heard and in the distance, a loud O.M.G.
“Ah, we got your location. Sending extraction right away: over”

“A big thanks, ground control! End transmission”

 

Back at the ground control, the two officers are staring at the screen where the location of Major Tom is blinking. The other officer turns to look at the other one:

“I can’t believe he actually ended up there…”
“Yeah, me neither”
The officers continue to stare at the blinking screen, both shaking their heads in disbelief…

And what was the location where Major Tom had ended up in?
Well…

Reflections at the Exit

When you exit
Across the glass made of plexi
Your face is reflecting

Fair warning: images in the mirror may not be as pretty as in real life (or in your own mind ;P)!
