Emptiness ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #84

Last week we played Games. This week? Let’s take stock on Emptiness or find something else to inspire your creativity in this photograph of a vibrant but quiet urban alley in Kashi (Old Varanasi), India.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt offered Sunday mornings.

Each week I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as points of inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, longread or just a few words. You are welcome to use these two elements (photograph and word) literally, thematically or metaphorically. If you create both images and words, all the better.

To participate:

• Use any title you like
• Your response can be words and/or an image
• You may use my image in your post, or any image you have created
• Place the challenge’s Pic (if you use it for inspiration) and Word prominently in your post
• Mention that you are responding to the Pic and a Word Challenge
• Add a link to this post in your response

To help us find your response — whether on WordPress, Instagram, Flicker, Tumblr, etc. — you can also:

• Add a comment on this post to announce your response
• Apply the tag/hashtag “Pic and a Word Challenge” or “#picandawordchallenge to your post

Each week, I’ll list the previous week’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.
