Pictures to entertain, interest, and inspire you to create with words or images. Poem, story, play, novel, memory, essay, painting, drawing, sculpture, or another photograph? Up to you. You can, of course, just enjoy the pictures. My image is untitled to avoid directing you. But the title, not always helpful, is here.
If you use the prompt, you can post a link to your work, or the work itself, in the comments section, if you want. Please credit me by linking to this post, to allow more people to see both our creations.
Have fun and get those creative juices flowing.
Sometimes, I’ll include my writing inspired by the image.

Simple and elegant capture! The water is looking golden!

It’s an elegant curve, isn’t it, Joni? And with the sun shining on the North Sea, it was just begging me to photograph it as we walked along the sea wall.

Yes, it was beautifully crafted and such a lovely photograph. The piers are very basic here and yet they still have their own beauty. That one was woodworking at its finest. Great shot. ❤️🤗

I can see why you’d think it was a work done in wood, but the whole thing is constructed from stone. Amazing skill from the stonemasons!

Oh my goodness I had no idea. That is almost a lost art form isn’t it? That is incredible. Amazing!! 🤗

It’s called Roker Pier and Lighthouse and was built in 1903, using concrete, and granite faced blocks. There’s a tunnel running the length of the pier and into the lighthouse that was used in stormy weather for the lighthouse keeper to get to and from his work. That’s now used only when tourists are foolish enough to get themselves stranded out there in bad weather!

How interesting Stuart. I bet you could write a great story about this information. A short story for sure. Very interesting place. Love the tunnel. 🤗❤️

I love seeing Lighthouses! We used to have working ones along the Maine coast. They are fun to tour. This one is strange in that it is situated a distance from the shore, I presume for a reason. I also wondered at the curved drive or walkway out to it. Do you know the reason? Or is it an optical allusion? My practical anna side thinks it would have been cost-effective to have a straight construction. Thanks for posting.

It stands at one side of the entrance to a river on the northeast coast of England, Brenda. The curve is following natural underlying rock formations under the sea, which meant less work was needed on supporting it.

That is an amazing photo! I initially thought it was a zipper.
