Welcome to this week’s writephoto prompt. You can find all last week’s entries in the weekly round-up, which was published earlier today.
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 25th September and link back to this post with a pingback to be included in the round-up. There is no word limit and no style requirements, except to keep it fairly family-friendly.
**My apologies in advance if comments, acknowledgements and reblogs are erratic for a few days… we are running a workshop with The Silent Eye this weekend and internet access will be limited.
Please note that many people on WordPress are having problems with pingbacks not getting through. They do need to be approved manually before they show on the post here, but to be sure, please also leave a comment on this post, linking back to your response to the prompt so that I know you have posted. **
For visually challenged writers, the image shows dark clouds and bare trees against a fiery sunset, with a murmration of starlings creating a cloud of their own.
All posts will be featured in the round-up on Thursday, September 26th at 10am GMT, linking back to the original posts of contributors.
Throughout the week I will feature as many of the responses here on the Daily Echo as space allows and (more or less) in the order in which they come in. Please be aware that I tend to schedule reblogs in advance and these spaces fill quickly so an early submission is more likely to get reblogged.
Please link your post to this by creating a pingback. If you are unsure of how to create a pingback, Hugh has an excellent tutorial here.
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.
***
Come and introduce yourself!
An open invitation to writephoto contributors…
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 regulars to come and introduce themselves on the blog as my guest! ‘Regulars’ does not mean you have to take part every week… Click here for details
Wow! Your description of the photo is equally beautiful!

It’s awesome that you include the visually impaired. What’s in the mind’s eye is the essence of poetry after all.

I have Yorkshire glossaries handy for writing (never know when you’ll need a good old Yorkshire word) and it’s fascinating. Especially the farming words and place names associated with field types or natural features that all seem to come from Norse.
LikeLike
Have you come across the Yorkshire Dialect Society? they are a great resource.
LikeLike
Yep. They were the first one’s I found. What I have yet to find is an English/Yorkshire dictionary. It’s fine having a glossary if you just want to wade through the whole lot looking for interesting words, but if you want to know how to say eat or bacon or the weather in Yorkshire you’re stuck.
LikeLike
I know. There are a couple of dialect translation site sout there, but they aren’t great. I tend to stick with what I know.
LikeLike
You pick up a lot passively by listening, but it’s not the same as having a native speaker in your close family. What went over my head I never tried to make sense of.
LikeLike
Great Granny and Grandad stll spoke reyt Old Yorkshire, so I picked up an awful lot from them. 🙂
LikeLike
The old folk in Birstall who spoke were incomprehensible. Like a foreign language. I’d love to be able to speak it but I imagine it’s more a less a dead language now. TV saw to that.
LikeLike
It is sad that so much of what was familiar within our own lifetime is passing from memory. I can still do ‘broad Yorkshire’, but living in the south, no-one would understand a word.
It still delights me when someone from the north talks about laikin’ out or being fair nithered when its a bit parky 😉
LikeLike
And talking about ar kid and ar lass. I was about 30 before husband, who was talking about being in the Cubs (never made it to the Scouts,) explained that Akela was the chief cub and not, as I had always thought ar Kayla, somebody’s big brother.
LikeLike
That made me smile 🙂
Yes, it was always ‘ar lass’… and Stu and I, even though he’s from ‘t wrong side o t’ Pennines, still speak about ‘our’ places with that affectionate twist.
LikeLike
It always bemused my husband when total strangers like the lady in the post office or the chippie would address him as ‘love’. He’d turn to me afterwards and ask, ‘do you know her?’. I never did. They’re indiscriminate with their terms of affection in Yorkshire 🙂

I sort of miss that 🙂

I don’t know small town England (don’t count Yorkshire) but I can’t imagine it happening here. People are much too formal.

There is more than a language difference between ‘Bonjour, Madame’ and ‘Sithee, lass’.
