Picture taken at sunset across salt pools towards the sea & the horizon in the distance. The orange, yellow & blue colours of the sky are reflected in the salt pool below.
My favourite place in the whole world to watch the sunset 🌅.

I love spending time in the Scottish Highlands, especially Inverness!
It's my favourite part of the UK and no one can tell me otherwise! I'm in love with the Highlands!

Happy Tuesday...Sure, why not? Please enjoy this view of the Scottish coast near Cromarty. I believe I was waiting for a ferry, which gave me time to look--and wander--a little more. #Scotland #Cromarty #favouriteplace #travel #water #sea #maritime #peaceful #photography #I❤️Scotland
Another epic piece, Paul, I particularly like this: hidden rivers ghosts of stone talk... I take this language back as part of me....for your #FavouritePlace Thank you, my friend, for sharing

The title says it all about #FavouritePlace , I adore every single line, Glenn. You are so right it's impossible to answer, and then this:
"Like flicking the picture-book pages of my life", & "wilds of the moors". Thank you for this beauty & what a way to finish off #PromptCombo week.
♥️

As well as being a fine poet @dragonslayerma.bsky.social is hugely deserving of a #lifttothesky for the expertise with which she curated this week’s #PromptCombo #FavouritePlace
'A hilltop telescope takes us closer to the stars.' I like nothing better than stargazing on June nights.
Thank you, Noel, for taking me there to your #FavouritePlace.
"Bury my heart there, up on the hill," this is exquisite writing.
Thank you for sharing it with the #PromptCombo crew❤️
From @dragonslayerma.bsky.social's #PromptCombo #FavouritePlace, @brokenspinearts.bsky.social's #WolfAtTheDoor or daily #vss365 to @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social's #ekphrasticchallenge2025 the evidence is plain: the #poetrycommunity is one of the most dynamic & mutually supportive networks on here
All kinds of innovative responses to the #promptcombo #favouriteplace theme, from the shade, thru a building, the body, to even a place in time. I've gone mainstream with a geographical one. Thanks to this week's host, @dragonslayerma.bsky.social

The anticipation has me hooked, Paul. Will you or won't you get to see the elusive beauty of your feathered friends.
"You a rare moon lifts this long day from shrouds," an exquisite ending at your #FavouritePlace . Thank you, my friend, for sharing another wonderful piece #PromptCombo ❤️
You’re very welcome. An extremely imaginative response to the #FavouritePlace theme

This reads like an exploration of your life trying to find meaning to it all. Your reference to "sticky leaves of spring" is an excellent description, and then
your moral compass has you
finding yourself at your #FavouritePlace
Thank you, dear C, for this superb write for PromptCombo ❤️
On Wings of Freeze You want me to come out of the place where I feel closest to myself. You think it isn’t safe roaming this cold wilderness in my naked self. You say I’ll be free if I clip my wings and learn to scrunch the leaves ‘neath. But I did do that— scrunched those leaves— it led me to this wilderness. In my naked self I repose, on frozen leaves on a winter’s wings; 1/2 …
… 2/2 aflutter-still, on captured frame— like a poppy field, a butterfly; await release from this freeze, and for frozen things to melt; inundate— the steels, the stones, and wooden mansions; for life to tower above them. I know you’ll await my return And we’ll greet sweet “sticky leaves of spring”*. Until then… just then, hold yourself So that we may soar a trail afresh… - C. Oulens * - after F. Dostoyevsky, The Idiot
Sometimes, your #FavouritePlace may not be a favourite of those who love you… or probably yours either, except that you don’t know yet? A second piece (stanzas in haiku structure) for #PromptCombo and @dragonslayerma.bsky.social
Thanks

Just when I thought my heart may settle. You, Ju, come along with this amazing exquisite piece.I don’t even know what I love more.This maybe! 'clouds trail their shadows' but then...'scars of dusk' & then 'brazen & nearly naked constellations'. Gosh, I need to breathe #FavouritePlace #PromptCombo ♥️
Awe, Paul, this meandering back through time to a very special day out with your grandad, as your #FavouritePlace. It's like I'm looking at an old movie of beautiful memories. Thank you, my friend, for sharing with us #PromptCombo ❤️
Sheikha, this is a beautiful love letter to your Homeland. It's very lovingly written, and it wants me to travel there to your #FavouritePlace 🧡 Thank you so much for sharing this with us at #PromptCombo
I could read you all day every day, Jane. You never disappoint. I just took that first journey to your #FavouritePlace (lovely house), those last 3 lines... 'we heard a song of home'. Stunning imagery, darlin for #PromptCombo ♥️

William, I always feel a lighthouse is both lonely & mysterious all at the same time.
Your words have transported me to that "barnacled and bleak" #FavouritePlace ,
great choice of words. "Blue sky with stark electric ink. Oh, how I wish I was there to witness this beautiful place.
#PromptCombo ♥️
I apologise for missing this, John. Every single line took me up those hills & I could feel it coming alive thank you for taking me with you to your #FavouritePlace This "Across the ancestral commons of memory"/ this "patient sentry at the cemetery gates" will stay with me #PromptCombo ♥️
