A spectacular place to visit…

Architects sometimes
Appeal mostly to mind
No love for the heart
In masterful lines

Don’t misunderstand me
Such exquisite abstraction
Just lacking romance

A place to admire
A picture to hang

But to live there no chance

Cracks ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #205

I only noticed the cracks in my armour
As the blow came down

Beaten

Vulnerable

I rose, vowing not to be struck again
Opting for the only defense remaining

Offense

Colour ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #175

These moments of some small artistry
Grasped upon and toyed with oh so playfully
A passing thought
Become a pleasing naught
For there is no deeper meaning here
Just some pretty colours challenging the black
Amid the balanced forms I’ve caught

Monolithic Demagogue

Monolith

Monumental
Immense
Magnficent

Formidable
Immovable
Immutable

Rooted, gravitas

Vancouver Night, From Cypress Mountain Lookout, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Cloudy Canvas

A million people carried on
Each inhabiting their own little world
Oblivious to the city lights
Painting impressionistic abstracts
On the night sky’s cloudy canvas

Fountain, UBC Botanical Gardens, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

At the event horizon

In the final moments
Of my existence
Here in this dimension

As reality folds in
Upon itself

I manage to get in

One last

Seeking Dragons

I went out on a photo safari with a buddy of mine, eventually landing at Vancouver’s New Brighton Park, an inner harbour green space surrounded by port facilities, including this sugar off-loading dock.

I was intrigued by the shapes, and the somber mood of the clouds, and by the reflection the unloading facilities cast on Burrard Inlet. I shot off a series of photos, hoping something would work.
