Photo prompt round-up: Poised #writephoto

*

Poised for a moment

On the threshold of being

Called to the journey

Bound by the passage of time

Earth to earth and light to light

*

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken at Rowtor Rocks in Derbyshire, an enigmatic site that we know well. With ancient rock carvings, caves both natural and man-made and a history full of mysteries, this is a truly intriguing site. The strange being at the foot of the stair is my writing partner, Stuart France.

The picture shows a flight of stone steps that rise from a level shelf with three caves, up through the earth to a rocking stone. The steps are very difficult to ascend, being uneven, narrow and high. They lead up from a pitch-dark chamber with a tiny hole pierced through its walls… and amazing acoustics.

We have used the site as part of one of our workshops and shared the strange landscape with friends.

We also managed to scare the bejaysus out of a group of teenage lads who were lurking in the caves when they caught sight of  ‘Coyote’ when we were shooting images for our book, An Imperious Impulse.
