Sunshine & the lane

Beneath the village sun, the cars stand still,Their occupants away, on errands gone.The houses slumber in the afternoon,Their windows shuttered from the heat’s strong yawn. A gentle breeze stirs through the leafy trees,Whispering tales of far-off lands and sweets.The sunbeams dance upon the dusty ground,Casting long shadows where no feet are found. A solitary figure…

A pair or alone

Beneath the banyan’s ancient shade,Where sunlight filters, dappled, frayed,Two stray cats nap, in slumber deep,Embracing warmth, their dreams to keep. Their fur, a tapestry of gray,Their bodies curled in perfect play,A symphony of purrs and snores,A friendship nature gently pours. Upon a nearby bench of stone,Another feline lies alone,His eyes half-open, gaze afar,Reflecting life, both…

Whisper of an orange door

In the hush of another afternoon’s glow,An orange gate stands, a memory’s echo.Once opened wide, now firmly closed,A rural tale, in silence posed. The sun casts shadows, long and lean,On the rustic path, a tranquil scene.The house stands empty, the owner gone,Yet the gate remains, a legacy drawn. It whispers stories of laughter and tears,Of…

A Rural Idyll

Amidst the verdant fields, where crops sway tall,A humble house, with rustic charm, stands small.Nestled ‘neath trees, their branches reaching high,A symphony of nature, ‘neath the azure sky.

Man and nature, in harmony…

Rustic red door / Porta rubra

Rustic red door, old and iron-wrought,In the countryside, long and deep shadows cast.A symbol of hope and of the past,A reminder of the future. Porta rubra, vetusta, et ferruginea,In agro sita, umbra longa et profunda.Symbolum spei et praeteriti,Futuri monimentum.

Taiwan Provincialis Government Emblemata

Olim in Zhongxing Novo Villano,Sedes erat provinciae gubernationis,Nunc ruinosa et deserta,Causa suspiriorum. Olim florens, nunc praeteritum,Olim splendida, nunc in pulverem redacta. Aedificia olim, nunc decolorata,Statuae olim, nunc pulvere obductae. Promissa olim, nunc dispersa,Idealia olim, nunc deleta. Zhongxing Novum Villanum,Olim sedes gubernationis provinciae Taiwani,Nunc ruinae, frangentes cor. Olympus E-500 + ZD 3.5-4.5/40-150
