Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
- An answering photo
- A cartoon
- A joke
- A caption
- An anecdote
- A short story (flash fiction)
- A poem
- A newly minted proverb, adage or saying
- An essay
- A song—the lyrics or the performance
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
- Your creative offering is indeed yours
- Your writing is kept to 150 words or less
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN

It’s not in the middle of the town, it’s at the edge, alongside the river’s “pool”. My back was to the river’s mouth

NORFOLK SHOALS LIGHTHOUSE – Eighth in the vicinity. One was destroyed by artillery fire in the Civil War, one was destroyed by arson, four fell into the sea, and one perished in the Great Victorian Black Hole Disaster (1878). Its 1882 experimental reverse-spiral-inverted Fresnel lens light system contributed to the loss of sixteen passenger ships and one Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (though the loss of the latter wasn’t noticed until 1905).
Visitors can climb to the keeper’s quarters, which are maintained as they were in 1957 when the light was automated. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, visitors will not be allowed to leave until March 15, 2021.

Excellent. Has me chuckling, Brian.
But I m surprised you know about the Gt Victorian Black Hole Disaster. It must be your Irish/Scots/English ancestory.

My family’s ancient claim to the throne of the Danelaw was lost in that disaster. Else I’d be telling the Queen to move over.

I’d like to claim some of my own, but, but my throne-sitting heights are Breton and Flemish and therefore later

Well, if the Bourbon Legitimists, Bonapartists, and Bourbon Orleanists can all put up pretenders for the French throne, I see no reason why you can’t advance your own claims!
