Beyond veiling mists
Otherworldly paths open
A timeless portal
Ancient souls have passed this way
Beckoning those who follow

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken in Derbyshire on Higger Tor one morning at dawn, when the mists were still flowing across the land. It is a place I will often stop to watch the dawn when I am on my way back from the north… although this photo was taken during one of our workshop weekends. The pile of huge boulders here form a window that looks down on the plateau of Carl Wark, an ancient walled enclosure whose purpose remains something of a mystery to traditional archaeologists, but which we believe was a place where the ancestors guarded the gates of the Otherworld.

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.

A tad hard to follow these days – staying six feet apart.
The mist to me is always magical. Lovely verse. Thanks again for your prompts and round-ups.

Six feet has little bearing on this kind of calling 😉
