#WRITEPHOTO – Ceiling by Jemima Pett

Is it time for the Master of Arts to hand over to the younger generation? Maybe, if the creaking is anything to go by. My poor back aches at the thought. Read more of this fun entry by Jemima.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It was the best because he had a job, for which he might even get paid. Having a job was better than nothing. Nothing equalled painful, hungry, disgusting, and sometimes even dangerous.

It was the worst of times because he was lying on his back on flat wooden boards, twenty feet in the air, painting.

Do you think that was a good job? Lying on your back, hardly able to shift position, trying to do intricate details in the most marvellous impression of gaily dancing women surrounded by cavorting dogs … and the paint is dripping into your eyes, into your hair, up your nostrils and into worse parts.

Every dog owner knows how wise they can be, but it’s captured magnificently in this tale of gods and dogs by Pankaj Kumar

As I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling, I couldn’t help but marvel at the intricate carvings that adorned the plaster. The soft white color of the ceiling gave the room a serene ambiance, and the artistic carvings at the center were a testament to the skill of the craftsman who created them.

But my eyes were drawn to the painting in the center of the ceiling. It featured some gods surrounded by intricate details, and there were two dogs flanking them. The colors were vivid, and it seemed like the gods and dogs were alive and in motion.

A lovely conversation by Di.

Who would’ve thought we’d be famous. I told you the Master would include us in one of his masterpieces one day, and here we are.
Yes, here we are.
You don’t sound very enthusiastic.
Sorry. I can’t help it.
Just look at all those people below looking up at us in awe. Isn’t it wonderful?

#Writephoto Round-Up – Cannon

They now stay strong and silent,

Soluting the sky

Never questioning the orders,

Never asking why

I love this picture. It was from a very rainy day in Scotland on a visit to Stirling Castle. In the background you can just make out the Wallace Monument which this cannon was aimed towards. It really is a fascinating place, with such a rich history and some marvellous tour guides. Highly recommended, even in the rain!

Apologies all, WordPress decided to play silly beggars this week so not all pingbacks have tracked. This is the list of links that I can see but of course if I have missed anyone please do let me know.

I hope you’ll join me for another #writephoto challenge. This week’s is an anniversary edition with a little tribute to Sue and the lovely Ani, it can be found here:

#WRITEPHOTO – Ceiling

Afternoon Everyone,

Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!

Artistic white plaster

Featuring some gods

Have you noticed…

It features two dogs

This week’s could prove quite difficult, but it seemed too beautiful not to share…

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a white plaster ceiling with beautiful artistic carvings in the centre is a painting featuring angels and the odd animal.

March is always a bitter sweet month here at #writephoto towers. Tomorrow is the anniversary of the first #writephoto prompt and my thoughts are with dear Sue and all the fun she brought to this marvellous challenge. #Writephoto begin on March 3, 2016 by Sue Vincent, after hosting a wonderful little photo that inspired many to wonder what the story behind the image was. This evolved into a new photo being published every Thursday to which everyone added their own wonderful interpretations.

Almost 5 years to the day in March 2021, and after reading a few of Sue’s heartbreaking posts where she described her deteriorating health issues and ultimately informed us she would not be able to continue with the prompt, I reached out and offered to help with the prompt. Sue readily agreed and with her amazing support I took over the prompt. Thank you to all the marvellous readers and participants who help keep this fun challenge going. We welcome writers from all walks of life, in all creative forms, just as Sue always did. Whatever paths Sue now wanders, I like to think once a week, she checks in on the marvellous creations you all make and gives us all a little smile and nod of encouragement. I hope her and Ani enjoy this weeks #writephoto choice which included a little nod to her beloved dog and the fantastical tales she used to tell.

#Writephoto Round-Up – CAMEL

The camel train continued to walk. Everyone had gotten used to the heat and the smell and were now happy to plod along awaiting the tour guide’s next instruction. Up ahead they could make out the Bedouin temple. As they trotted along, the sand-filled wind began to whip at their faces. Harder and harder it whipped and swirled around them, occasionally someone would cry out. As the wind continued to churn up the sand, it became harder and harder to see the person in front or behind. The camels, unphased by the commotion continued their steady plod.

When the wind settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some gave a nervous giggle to one another, the crisis was averted. The Desert had revealed its hidden temple. Rushing to and from outside the temple was robed figures. They startled at the approaching camel train. The tour guide scratched his head confused, this was not the way he remembered it.

One by one, the sightseers hopped off their camels and made their way under the archway and into the courtyard. Stretched out before them was a medina with traders yelling to and fro. Yet as the tourists approached the stallholders and market traders quietened. They stared at the incomers. They spoke in a hushed whisper to their neighbouring stall holders occasionally they pointed at the incomer’s sunglasses or trainers.

The tour guide angrily tapped his phone but had no reception.

A commotion started further down the enclosed space. A group of men emerged, weapons swords and shields adorning their bodies. They marched menacingly towards the tourists, who began to back up and huddle together.

At once, the group halted, although the leader continued marching. The tour group edged further and further backwards until only the tour guide remained up front. The leader continued walking towards him, as they reached one another, it was clear to all the weapon-clad leader was much bigger than the tour guide. He lowered his head so that their faces were only inches apart.

“Leave!”

The tour guide nodded and turned. The tour group had already begun backing up to the archway.

As they hastily climbed onto their camels and followed the tour guide, no one spoke, only the sound of the camels could be heard.

Not much love for our little camel train this week but thank you to all the wonderful participants.

Please check out their entries below 🙂

and this fun entry from TUBASARWAT:

Camels in a row, a sight to see,
Majestic creatures in harmony.
Traversing deserts, steady and strong,
A caravan of camels moves along.

#WRITEPHOTO – Cannon

Afternoon Everyone,

Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!

Defender of the fortress

At the enemy, it’s aimed

Protecting these ancient walls

In which the cannons framed

Time for some more battlements. What creations will you make featuring a cannon? Bonus points if you can tell me where we are this week – the monument just visible in the distance may give you a clue?…

For visually challenged writers, the image shows a black rainsplattered cannon looking out of a battlement. In the distance you can see a town and a monument on a hillside.
