Bewitched and entranced
Accept the journey within
Embracing shadow
Light and darkness meet and meld
One step beyond the threshold

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken in the hills above Castleton in Derbyshire, at Odin’s Mine. Named for the Norse god, the lead mine was first worked it is thought, during the Roman Occupation. Fortunes were made and lost here in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
We came across the old mine workings by accident, at a time when Odin had made an unexpected, yet central appearance in our book, Doomsday: The Ætheling Thing. Today, there is just a cave, the sheep… and a strange, amorphous occupant, caught on camera…
Thank you to everyone who took part, visited or reblogged the posts or left comments for their authors.
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…
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 writers to come and introduce themselves on the blog as my guest! Click here for details.
Come and join in!

Great poem, Sue. And that “whatever it is” in the circle is creepy.

No idea what it was… but it was strange…

I guess you didn’t crawl in there to find out?

No crawling required… plenty of headroom for hobbits 😉 But then the tunnels are blocked…
