Blues ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #368

Sunset III, Revelstoke Lake, Revelstoke, British Columbia, Canada

Blues run layers deep
Beneath an intoxicated heat
Rustling the lake with scattered breezes

No storm tonight
But ’round a distant point
Rough waters wait

Blue on Blue on Amber and Gold
Revelstoke Lake
Revelstoke

Pic and a Word Challenge

Last week we basked in the Glow.

This week, let’s get over the Blues. Or seek something else to inspire you in this photograph of the Selkirk Mountain Range receding in layers of blues over Revelstoke Lake in British Columbia, Canada

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt 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, podcast, 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 week’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: Offering

Mountain High to City Lights, Howe Sound, Sea to Sky Highway, near Lions Bay, British Columbia, Canada
Challenge #367 ~ Glow

The word for last week’s Pic and a Word Challenge #367  was Glow, along with this photograph of lights, natural and man-made, over Howe Sound on the Sea to Sky Highway in British Columbia, Canada.

Three bloggers found their Glow this week. So thanks everyone!
