I learned today that WordPress, who hosts this blog and a bajilion others worldwide, will no longer run their weekly photo challenges and writing prompts. By participating in the photo challenges, I have been privileged to view beautiful photography from around the world and right in my city. Many of us follow each other’s blogs so we don’t miss a post. I am lucky but new and future bloggers won’t have that opportunity.
One last time, here is my contribution to a challenge: Twisted. We were asked to show something that is rounded. This subway station connects the E and M trains with the 6. It was an efficient transfer point while I was commuting for a late-night short-term project. I don’t recall ever using that station much; indeed, I initially forgot about it and took a more time-consuming route.
Train stations are rarely this attractive. I also like that there are pretty much no corners. Everything and everyone is visible, a huge comfort when I was traveling home. It’s well-lit and some of the street is visible, making me feel less like some scurrying subterranean creature.
Back to the prompts: There are other blogs that host photo challenges. (Looking at you, Cee’s Photography!) Let’s use the comments section below to share various sites where we can convene and share our photos, observations, joys and knowledge.
Challenge on.
Marvelous post.

I agree, such a shame!! As for challenges, Cee’s are the only ones that come to mind now… there’s a list of them at the Daily Post but I wonder if that too is no longer going to be updated…

Great idea and thanks for your efforts to continue to WordPress community spirit. I understand from a business perspective why they’ve decided to stop community activities but it will take some getting used to and perhaps effort on our part as the old timers to keep the spirit going.

Tina, your “Goodbye to WPC” post has the most beautiful trees. Someday I’m going to hug a redwood, simply because they’re so majestic!

I only recall being at that station once or twice and it is one of the few modern looking ones in Manhattan!

Actually I have been there many times several years ago but only once or twice in more recent times.

Cee also participates in many others’ challenges, so she is a good resource for more than just her own. I, too, will miss this weekly challenge.
