World Wide Wednesday: Black and White Photography

“A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else”

Around the World in Black and White Presents: London in the Rain

Rain, rain, rain
Running down the drain
Around in the City of London
Without the feeling of boredom
Too many things to see
Face lit up with a glee
Never mind the sad bad weather
My skin is made of thick leather
A few raindrops do not harm
Even a little storm
Won’t keep me away
From the London sway

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 35 Wrap up

The Photo Rehab is a great community to share photos, learn new techniques, discover new talents, and connect.

In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week:

Week 35: Wrap up

Also featured Rantings Of A Third Kind with Last Days of Summer

“Gunr Roswell from Rantings of a Third Kind brings poetry this week matched with stunning monochromes to interpret the (likely) common feeling of the approaching end of summer in the Northern hemisphere.”

“Very curious, very curious,” said Passepartout to himself, on returning to the steamer. “I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new.”

Beach Life

Poetry and Photography

“The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul” Wyland

Beach Life

The sun in the sky
Mind almost as high
Finally relaxing
Feelings of taxing
Letting go
Taking things slow
Down on the beach
Life is simple
To say the least
