Thursday photo prompt – Distant #writephoto

Posted on January 18, 2018 by Sue Vincent

#writephoto

Every Thursday at noon GMT, I publish one of my photos as a writing prompt.  If you know where the photo was taken, please keep it to yourself until the challenge is closed. I usually share something about the place during the round-up.

Throughout the week I will feature as many of the responses here on the Daily Echo as space allows. Every week, a full round-up of posts will be published linking back to the original posts of contributors.

You can find all last week’s entries in the weekly round-up. Please visit and read the stories and poems and explore the sites of their writers. I feature as many contributions as I can on the blog during the week, but given the volume of contributions that will seldom  be all of them!

The best way to ensure your post is featured is to send it well before the deadline but all posts will be included in a round up on Thursday 25th January.

Use the image below as inspiration to create a post on your own blog… poetry, prose, humour… light or dark, whatever you choose, by noon (GMT)  Wednesday 24th January and link back to this post with a pingback. There is no word limit and no style requirements, except to keep it fairly family friendly.

If you are unsure of how to create a pingback, Hugh has an excellent tutorial here.

Pingbacks need to be manually approved, so either check back to make sure that the pingback has appeared or simply copy and paste your link into the comments section of this post.

 Feel free to use #writephoto logo or include the prompt photo in your post if you wish or you can replace it with one of your own to illustrate your work. Don’t forget to use the #writephoto hashtag in your title so your posts can be found.

Have fun!

    My first reaction to the photo was “Oh gosh,” followed by, “now that’s a loaded photo.”

    A beautiful photo, but then, I love the mountains. For some reason, my first thought when I saw this was of Bilbo and the road he took to see the mountains. Here is the story I came up with: https://trentsworldblog.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/distant-writephoto/

    After writing a couple of poems about wind this week and then suffering a hard day today because of last night’s gales, here is a short poem for this week’s photo prompt, Sue. It’s a gorgeous photo, so I hope my little poem does it justice.

    I love this photo Sue, reminds me of the Wicklow hills, but it just inspired this bleak little story. Strange. I’d have thought it would have nudged a really epic story.

    Hi Sue, I’ve posted my entry but this challenge was a strange one. Shall we say it didn’t want to be discarded and pushed me into finishing it. https://strangegoingsonintheshed.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/thursday-photo-prompt-distant-writephoto-by-jan-malique/

    Hi Sue,

    It’s crazy how many responses you have to your photos these days! I utterly love this photo, it is beautiful, and there are so many ways that it could be interpreted. I really enjoyed composing my story this week 🙂 Last-minute again, as always…
