Ancient dancers pause

Hearts open to their secrets

Offering welcome

A marriage ring of earth and stars

Flesh and divinity joined

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken at an ancient stone circle in Cumbria. Long Meg and her Daughters had ambushed us, late one wintery afternoon and we have been back to the circle several times since then, even including it on Full Circle, one of our workshops in the landscape.

Long Meg herself is the tallest stone and she stands apart from the circle of her dancing daughters. She is carved with spirals, now weathering into memory, and her presence, both in physical and psychic terms, is immense.

Thank you to everyone who took part, visited or reblogged the posts or left comments for their authors.

A new prompt will be published later today. As always, I will reblog as many contributions as space and time allows as they come in… and all of them will be featured in the round-up next Thursday.

All the posts are listed below, so please click on the links below to read them and leave a comment for the author!

Pingbacks do not always come through… if you have written a post for this challenge and it does not appear in the round-up, please leave a link to your post in the comments and I will add it to the list.

An invitation to writephoto writers…

As there are usually too many contributions to reblog all of them every week, and so that we can get to know their writers, I would like to invite all writephoto writers to come and introduce themselves on the blog as my guest! Click here for details.

Come and join in!

Thank you to all Contributors!
