Gloom ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #336

Reaching for the Light, Cannon Beach, Oregon, United States of America

Reach for me, my friend
From the gloom besetting you
I have light to spare

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last time we swirled about in  Eddies. This week, let’s escape the Gloom. Or find something else to inspire you in this photograph of a wave reaching up the beach from Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach, Oregon, USA.

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a (usually) weekly creativity prompt (usually) offered Mondays.

With each challenge I provide a photograph of mine along with a single word. The challenge? Use the pic and/or word as  inspiration to create something — a photograph, a painting, video, 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 images
  • You may use my image to illustrate your post, or any images you have created
  • 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 challenge’s responses at the end of the new challenge. I may also share some on my social media: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, etc.

The previous challenge was: Eddies

Challenge #335 ~ Eddies

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #335  was Eddies, along with this photograph of empty mussel shells on Cannon Beach, Oregon, USA.

Three bloggers sought (and found!) their Glory this time. Thanks!
