Inspiration point (IP)
My son told me of getting the train at Edinburgh Haymarket, then one at Glasgow Central yesterday afternoon : the contrast in what passengers said, the different vibe in the streets outside the stations, the change from daylight to dark. I wondered if this might be useful as an IP. So, this week's prompt is : transition, of going through a portal, of starting in one place/company/time/state of mind, and arriving somewhere new?
I hope this idea is useful, and look forward very much to reading your ideas
