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

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

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki: Intro

This week’s World Wide Wednesday is visiting the town of Helsinki. A city way up north, where reindeer roam the streets, it snows in summer and people are rarely seen or heard of…

But seriously, a very nice summer city to visit, my former hometown and very clean, lush and sunny, except when it rains… And it does, a lot 😉 So welcome to Hel-sinki!

To serve any form of derrière
Be it straight, ambiguous or queer”

by-the-pool

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

By the Pool 

Storm chasing
By the pool
Just because
I’m cool
Some say
What a fool
But I’m not
Breaking any rules
Just looking
For nature’s jewel

With a heart that’s racing
The moment embracing
The storm, finally raging
And I,
I am singing

bird-watching

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

Bird Watching

“The tables are turned”
The little bird chirped
As she sat
On the latch
…People watching

bee

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

Bee Acrobatics

The little bee
Dancing around the tree
Getting on her groove
Showing us some moves

Out of the blue
On the cue
She started singing:

“I am limber by nature
One of the most gorgeous creatures
Just because I’m pretty
And possibly quite witty
Do not hate me
Or I will sting thee

slow-boat

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

Slow Boat down the River

On a slow boat
On this wide moat
Did bring a tote
Filled with some oat
To feed the goat…

“Wait a minute, wait a minute?
River, oat, goat?
What’s the catch in this?”

“Well, it’s for me to know
And you to find out!”
