Welcome to the new weekly Thursday Photo Challenge, a weekly photography challenge for everyone who likes to take photos!
This week’s challenge is jagged.
When something is jagged, it is pointy, uneven, and dangerous. We think of the jagged teeth of a shark or the jagged rocks near a lighthouse. But some people believe jaggedness is a positive attribute, because without it, nothing would ever change.
The good work is done by people with jagged, broken edges, because those edges cut things and leave an imprint, a design.

My photo is of a cactus I found in Arizona, which looked exactly like a skater doing a spiral, or a ballerina doing that really hard part with the suitors in Sleeping Beauty (I forget what it is called). The jagged spikes surrounding it almost fade away but they are still there, protecting the plant from being eaten.
Here’s how to take part:
- Take a photo or search your files for one that represents the week’s theme.
- Write a post, including your photo, any words of explanation or inspiration you wish to share, and a link to this challenge page.
- Comment on this post with a link to your page so others can see your contribution.
- That’s it! Super easy.
This challenge will stay open for one week, then next Thursday, I will post the next challenge!
