With one last lingering look
I turn
And leave
The past behind
I turn
And leave
The past behind

Atmosphere ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #120
Three times travelling
Three times atmosphere
Dominates the scene
Three times atmosphere
Dominates the scene
Once pollution
Once wildfire
Once winter storms
Twice undesired
Once intended
Often spectacular
Demanding
A different
Perspective
Little Buddha Selfie
The countenance of a buddha
The presence for a selfie
The presentation for an FB world
The presence for a selfie
The presentation for an FB world
What is there in a smile?
I saw your smile
He said
I wanted to meet
The man with such a smile
Said the stranger
Asking for a selfie of us
He said
I wanted to meet
The man with such a smile
Said the stranger
Asking for a selfie of us
Raincoast
On a dour grey day
In this ashen light
Spectacular seems
Not to apply
In this ashen light
Spectacular seems
Not to apply
And yet…
Above the boughs
Perched on rocky cliff
Perturbed sea
Sullen clouds
Mountains from sea through sky
Summer Ferry
Summer riffles
Through their hair
Destinations
Across the Sound
Anticipation
Swimming, hiking
Lakes and ocean
Forests, sunshine
Family camping
The summer adventures
Of carefree youth
Through their hair
Destinations
Across the Sound
Anticipation
Swimming, hiking
Lakes and ocean
Forests, sunshine
Family camping
The summer adventures
Of carefree youth
Monochrome Chaos
Simplified to monochrome
The world remains chaotic
And seeing it in black and white
Obscures the details of its tumult
The world remains chaotic
And seeing it in black and white
Obscures the details of its tumult
So too the beauty of the world
Its colour makes it vibrant
And lacking subtle textures
Diminishes its glory
Atmosphere
This land of Sea to Sky
Is formidable enough
Without the sky going
All stormy doom-like
Is formidable enough
Without the sky going
All stormy doom-like
So when it does
I shout out
To the atmospheric mayhem
The city, the sea and the forest
Entwined with nature
The sea surrounding
The forest abutting
The mountains above
The sea surrounding
The forest abutting
The mountains above
Vancouver
Gateway
To the outdoors
Adventure’s
Threshold
My city
