Atmosphere ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #120

Three times travelling
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 Glare, Bicycle Rickshaw Passenger, Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, India

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

Cloudy Sound, Britannia Beach, Howe Sound, British Columbia, Canada

Raincoast

On a dour grey day
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

Monochrome Chaos

Simplified to monochrome
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

Cloud Cover, Porteau Cove, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, British Columbia, Canada

Atmosphere

This land of Sea to Sky
Is formidable enough
Without the sky going
All stormy doom-like

So when it does
I shout out
To the atmospheric mayhem

The Sea the Forest and the City, Stanley Park, Burrard Inlet, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

The city, the sea and the forest

Entwined with nature
The sea surrounding
The forest abutting
The mountains above

Vancouver
Gateway
To the outdoors

Adventure’s
Threshold

My city

Blues

In the ocean blue
A reflection
Of a sky long lost
To the wake of progress

Making Haste, small craft, burrard inlet, north vancouver, british columbia, canada

Across the Still Water

I make haste
Across the still water
Seeking the shores
Which absorb the ripples

Beyond them
Is a land secure from
The inadvertent effects
Of being

There
In the silent depths
I listen for the voices of insight
Beyond manifestation
