This week, Pegman takes us to the cradle of civilization: Tel Saki, Syria. The country has been at war longer than Pegman has been mapping, so the pictures are confined to photo sphere and often feature shattered lands and cityscapes.
Your task is to write a 150-word story inspired by any of the photos you find of this fascinating region. As always, have fun and do your best.

This week Pegman takes us to Talnakh, in Krasonoyarsk Krai, Russia. There is no streetview in this remote-looking Russian city, but it appears that a photographer by the name of Alexey Ralphs has been busy taking photo spheres and they will blow your mind. Take a look around–there are plenty to chose from.
Your mission is to write 150 words inspired by the location. Share your story, poem, or article using the InLinkz button below.

Ho Ho Ho! This week Pegman takes us to the town of North Pole, Alaska in the USA.
Though it appears Santa’s workshop is near, you’re not obligated to write a Christmas-themed story or poem. The spirit of Pegman is to write 150 words inspired by your own tour of the location. Wander around and chose your own screenshot, if you like.
Your 150 words may be poetry, fact, fiction, or any combination thereof! A small caveat: if you plan to use the photo provided in this post to write an aviation story, beware the power lines.
Once you’ve created your story, add it to the InLinkz using the button below. Sharing, reading, and commenting on other stories is part of the fun.

Have fun & be good. I have a feeling someone’s watching.
For our one-year anniversary of What Pegman Saw, we take you back to where we started: a ghost town in Iowa. Buckhorn hasn’t been a town since the 20s, but there’s still plenty to explore. As always, feel free to use Pegman to go wherever the story takes you in 150 words or less. Karen and I want to thank all of our wonderful writers who participate in this prompt. You’ve helped make it an exciting and rewarding thing to do every week, and have written some killer stories in the process. Well done, everybody, and thanks for stopping by.
