How to route all url with same prefix to one action

I want to route all the URL with the same prefix to the same action like:

http://host/pic/with/bird

http://host/pic/with/bird/with/fish

http://host/pic/with/pig/theme/sad/resolution/high

Route::get("/pic/*","Piccontroller@showPic");

If you take a look at Illuminate\Routing\Route, it has a method called where() for this. The comment on that method says "Set a regular expression requirement on the route."

That would look like this:

Route::get('/pic/{section}', 'Piccontroller@showPic')->where(['section' => '.*']);

Essentially meaning it will take anything after the /pic/ part and pass it as a variable to the showPic() method. Now, parsing that on the method should be as easy as a simple explode() on the forward slash assuming you have some sort of pattern or are just trying to get each of the values.
