Six Word Photo Story: Freestyle

Because horses need to park too.

I was reminiscing today and decided to take a look at the photos I have taken so far this year. There are way too many of them, but then I saw this one and it made me smile.

The photo was taken on January 2nd, 2021. It was a snowy and cold day, so we decided to go hiking towards a waterfall not so nearby our home. After about an hour of driving, we arrived at an almost desolate piece of land and began hiking through a muddy and snowy trail. About a kilometer in, we arrived at an area with a Bed and Breakfast with “parking spaces” for Pferde. Pferde is the German word for horses.

Mary created the six-word photo story challenge this summer with many writers and photographers participating. It’s a fun way to get creative and the community has been growing to the point where Mary created the publication. I encourage everyone to join, read, clap, comment, and follow! Find out more about the submission guidelines and layout to participate.

There’s also a monthly challenge prompt, such as November’s Power of 3.

Some of the participants of the six-word photo story challenge include Dennett, pockett dessert, Susan Alison, Susan Foster, Ellie Jacobson, Penny Grubb, K. Barrett, Divina Grey, Stuart Aken, John Dean, Anne Bonfert, Pulpo Viejo, and Will Hull, to name a few.
