An image or a picture can trigger memories, beliefs and imagination. Here are my offerings.

| The Archways of Fort Jefferson, Dry Tortugas, Fla., by DG Hudson |
In our lives, there are many doors, some open to joy or insight, some to sadness, pain or loss. Life takes no notice of who you are or what your plans may be. Infinity shown as openings or archways can also represent hope that perhaps the next opening will lead to better times. The road continues whether we fall by the wayside or not. Sometimes there is a choice at the fork in the road and at other times, we are at the behest of Fate.

Nuit Blanche
Paris, France
It's a City Party
Exploring culture in the streets
The traffic is a parade.
So many bright lights=White Night

| Nuit Blanche on the Rue de Rivoli, Paris, by Green Eye, prop. DG Hudson |
Nuit Blanche (White Night) is an arts festival or city party which provides 'after hours' free access to various forms of culture. Film, visual art and performing arts are staged at outside venues and certain galleries and locations. The Nuit Blanche is celebrated in the first week of October in Paris.
This image was captured from the fourth floor of a residential apartment building on the Rue de Rivoli.

Have you ever heard the term Nuit Blanche? Have you heard of the Dry Tortugas or Garden Key? Do you find it easy to be inspired by an image?
Please leave a comment to let me know you dropped by and I'll respond.
I apologize for the brevity of my entry to this month's challenge, fiction was not an option.
