This week Pegman takes us to the Pacific Northwest, in Washington State, US. Though this particular location is called Waikiki Beach, it’s located within Washington’s Cape Disappointment State Park. Which–if you were expecting Waikiki Beach (a la Hawaii)– you would probably be disappointed. Washington State is lovely though, and I know you find your own streetview or photosphere to inspire you.

Your mission is to write up to 150 words inspired by the week’s location. Once your piece is polished, share it with others using the linkup below. Reading and commenting is part of the fun.

Thanks to all who participate in this challenge! If you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is a good time to give it a try. Cheers!

I couldn’t find any streetview in Varanasi, but there were plenty of photospheres to choose from. I hope you find something to inspire you.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Today Pegman travels to the City of Bridges. A site of great historical importance in the French and Indian War of the 1750s, Fort Duquesne was built by the French at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. The British replaced it with Fort Pitt a few years later and the city grew up around the military establishment.

Pittsburgh is an interesting city where skyscrapers tower over 18th-century fortifications and funicular railroads crawl up steep hillsides. Stroll and around and see if you can find something that interests you. When you’re done, write 150 words and link to the prompt using the frog below. Remember, reading and commenting is part of the fun!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy writing!
