Welcome to Hel-sinki!
Did you land here quite unexpectedly?
Please, have a look around
It’s more pleasant than it sounds
Nice, clean, safe and poetic
Our small town of the idyllic
We’re way up North
But well while the worth
Of making a short trip
Even with a tall ship
So stay a while, take a look around
You may be surprised of what you found

“Gun from Rantings of a Third Kind is in full swing for Autumn colors, inspired by Groucho Marx. And if you’re sad for summer is almost over, she prescribes: Keep Calm and Go to London, at least with her photos.”
Photography & Poetry
Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy
“Keep calm and go to London”
London Odds and Ends
Going out for Fish and Chips
Maybe viewing a solar eclipse
Or shopping for model toys
Even looking for the real McCoys
London is the place to be
With so many things to see
After a busy day on the streets
Walking, biking or on the bus
Step into the local pub
Lift up your feet
Relax without a fight
And enjoy the night
“A true Englishman doesn’t joke when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager.” Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days

Visit the place of history
And follow the whole story
Of where we came from

“There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere” Vivienne Westwood
Around the World in Black and White Presents: London
Over the rooftops
To the hustle and bustle
Of the streets of London
In just a few hops
A few old castles
And a famous dungeon
Hop on a bus
Without much fuss
Follow the lines
And you’ll be fine
Eyes wide open
Seeing more than hoping
In the evening
You are dreaming
Of how much more
The next day has in store

“I would often see windows that looked to me like they weren’t real – almost like a painting on a wall instead of a window. I thought it was kind of a cool idea” David Allee
SL-WEEK 10: Windows
Miles high up in the air
The small window the only glare
The far away lands calling
Into sweet dreams lulling
The view from the home window
Soon a fading memory of tomorrow
