Storm and fair weather

Ending with a beginning

Sunset is golden

Dreams filling the silent hours

Take flight when the new day dawns

 The photo for this week’s prompt was taken looking out towards the elusive Barbrook Three stone circle, that had taken us so long to find.

Mind you, we had found plenty of other things while we were looking, and perhaps that was the point of our circuitous quest… to realise that it is all very well fixing the gaze and focus on a single goal, but doing so risks missing the wonders that chance might bring.

This particular sunset was a gift at the end of a long day… the birds just the icing on the cake.

Thank you so much to everyone who took part this week and to everyone who reblogged the prompt, round up and the individual responses! A new prompt will be published later today. As always, I will reblog as many contributions as space and time allows as they come in… and all of them will be featured in the round-up next Thursday.

All the posts are listed below, so please click on the links below to read them and leave a comment for the author!

Pingbacks do not always come through… if you have written a post for this challenge and it does not appear in the round-up, please leave a link to your post in the comments and I will add it to the list.

An invitation to writephoto writers…
