Wordless Wednesday: Waiting for the Ferry

After checking in at our hotel in Sofia early that afternoon, I decided to visit the nearby park to get a feel for the place. While walking around, I saw something that appeared to be a cluster of horse’s poop. When I got closer, I found them to be wild mushrooms.

Back home, it would appear so familiar to elicit much interest. But in that moment, I felt it offered more. Its color and texture filled my senses with something beautiful and delightful that I immediately grabbed my pocket camera and took a picture.

It’s what traveling to places that you’d never been before gives you. It has the power to transform. It can change your perspective making even the most mundane look special.

Ahmad respected Annisa’s decision to marry Farhan even though the family didn’t approve. At the same time, he was duty-bound to protect his sister.

One day, he saw Annisa with a black eye and swollen lips.

“I slipped and fell,” she said averting his eyes.

The following day, Farhan didn’t come home. His body was later found floating in the river.

Annisa confronted Ahmad as he came bringing flowers.

“You killed him,” she screamed. “You killed my husband and the father of my child.”

Ahmad ignored the outburst, placed the bouquet on the table, and left without saying a word.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Satisfaction

Food satisfies. It provides comfort when you’re by your lonely self. But it feels better when it is shared. After all, we’re social animals.

The above photo was taken while we were having a picnic lunch in Rab Island. A member of our group thought of sharing the goodies to the island kids. What a splendid idea!
