Sinuous dancer
Raising her arms to heaven
Calling down the sun
The dance of light is calling
Embracing eternity

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken as we wandered through a Yorkshire wood in search of a dragon. Although it was a beautiful day, the wood was strangely silent and the song of birds was absent, even beneath the beech trees.
The dragon in question is a local legend, immortalised in a humorous 17thC poem, and the story tells how a knight, Moore of Moore Hall, brought about its downfall using a spiked suit of armour. We failed to track down the dragon on this occasion, but one of these days we will find its lair.
In the meantime, a rather sad pine plantation provided us with a little shade and a glimpse of beauty.
