High on a heather-covered hilltop, we were looking for a stone circle. Instead, we found what looked very like a weathered burial mound… not altogether unexpected in an area where ancient stones and circles abound. What was unusual was the tunnel into the mound beneath a stone lintel.
Being the one with the camera, it was me who went head first underground, into what appeared to be an alien landscape of luminous lichens and glowing filaments, where the tunnel stretched back into the darkness, far beyond my sight…
… but which gave me a shot that I think might make a good photo prompt 🙂
So, in 100 words or less… where does the tunnel lead your imagination?
Create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… by Wednesday 16th March and link back to this post with a pingback. Some posts will feature on the blog during the week and all posts will be included in a round up on Thursday.
Feel free to use the photo in your post if you wish.

These photos are great Sue. I love the colours of the first one, the strangeness of the second, and the mystery of the third one. 🙂

As you know I love these places and your photographs are a very good replacement for actually being there. Can’t beat a walk through the moors in cold weather followed by a decent cup of tea back at your lodgings. Oh well, and its back to real life for me 😦

I hennaed my (long) hair when my redheaded daughter first started school – it was an act of solidarity more than anything else. I loved it, but a few gingerphobics were decidedly unimpressed.
Keep your hair that colour – the gingers are going to take over the world, and anyone without the mark upon them will have their heads shaved every Tuesday at 4pm.
I don’t know what’s got into me today. I fear I may be creating a bad impression…

I’ve dyed it every shade of vivid the past few years… just for fun. I am contemplating the new spring pastels…. or I may go Madam Mim. Or then again… I may be totally outrageous and keep it its natural colour 😉
