“Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia” Ellen Hopkins

Sepia

The faded colour
A reminder of the past
Many nuances to discover
Monochrome to last

Once a colourful picture
A photographer’s signature
Now, maybe a work of art
Or close to someones heart

Red

Seeing red?
Hoping for something else instead?
What can I say
I like to play
Red is red is red
Maybe you should have stayed in bed
So like it or not
Here are the shots

In the cooling summer breeze
All the wild flowers will breathe
Until it is time, for the winter’s freeze

Of a summer scene
Visions of beauty
Will never diminish

Welcome To Finland’s Midsummer (Repost for TBT)

“At least there is no snow on the ground” Gun Roswell

Welcome To Finland’s Midsummer

Not creature stirred
Not even a mouse
Vision getting blurred
Or just an illusion
If you come to the conclusion
And dare to leave the house
Heed this warning
The rain come a down pouring
Soon you will be scorning
The streets empty and deserted
The barbeque outside forgotten and defeated
Shivering in ten plus degrees
Wishing you had paid the fees
Of a nice vacation abroad
But your plan was flawed
Planning on spending
The day never ending
At home in stead
Spending the Finnish carnival
An event most formidable
Even though holier than thou
Or the proverbial sacred cow
That was all but a dream
You hear yourself scream
If you’d only been so lucky
But now feeling yucky
Your midsummer
What a bummer
Surely a nightmare to remember

So what really happened:

Poolside Fantasy

Reflected in the window
Fantasies
Of another tomorrow
Champagne and caviar
Poolside and up to par

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!

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-29) One

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane 2015 in photographs!
For this last post in the 2015 photo break down, I have chosen a set of my favourite sky shots.

In the first post, the skies over Tuusula Lake in Finland.

Enjoy!
