Country Road by suzannem73
Sometimes it is fun to turn off the familiar highway and explore a dirt road. Where will it lead? What will you see? Perhaps an old barn or fields of cotton, soy beans, or corn. Maybe a green pasture with beautiful old trees, or cows or horses peacefully grazing. / This photo was taken with a Kodak Easyshare camera and edited with Dynamic-Photo HDR.Country Road was featured in Country Roads around the World. /

Sunflowers and Thunderstorms by John De Bord Photography IPA
Rural northern Boulder County, Colorado Honest to God above, this was utterly amazing….I can’t really find the wards to describe the whole scene to you all but I will try my best. I had to handhold this, along with the other shots to come, my knee is totally kaput so using a tripod was pretty much out of the question, however that isn’t the only reason…as we were shooting last evening, the lightning was all over the place, and well there were times when I wanted to grab it and try, but thought better of it lol Tripods make for great Lightning conductors! lol The clouds were just insane, and I mean really crazy, this storm went severe dropping reports of funnel clouds to the north east of us and hail as well. It passed over our heads, but sure made for some utterly incredible atmospheric shots! So you take that, a Sunflower field the size of a small state, the sunset, a country road, and the foothills and mountains as a backdrop, and friends, you have quite a scene you will NEVER forget! Hope ya all like it! / —-John Minolta 5D / Minolta 18-70mm / CPL & ND4

Lined Path by Vicki Pelham
There is something to be said about nature at any point in the year. This shot was taken is this Aspen lined road heading up to McKinght Peak, in the Black Range/Gila National Forest in southwest New Mexico. In late October, I was arriving to late for the peak fall colors but I am always enchanted by the Aspens and the pop of color that still remained created a view for me.

River Road by George Cousins
There’s many “River Roads” in the world, and I doubt this particular one goes by that name, but it made a reasonable title! It’s a little country road beside the waters of the North Thompson River in south-central British Columbia,Canada, not far from Mount Robson Park. I think it probably leads to a farm or perhaps a ranch in the rural back-country. At this point, the river is calm and peaceful, a gently flowing stream which has wildly turbulent stretches along it’s course, and not too far from this place. Taken Sept.3, 2009 with a DSCF 828 Sony camera. / Featured in COUNTRY ROADS / around the World

'The Fork in the Road...' by Scott Bricker
This is a intersection of carriage roads in Acadia National Park, just up from Jordan Pond…the one to the left goes to the amphitheater, and around the mountain…the one to the right continues around the lake…these ‘carriage roads’ were built by the Rockefellers when they owned Mt. Desert Island, used by the ultra-rich purely for their amusement…now great places for easy hiking, horses, and riding bikes (and walks with your dog!)... they wind though the park, placed and built so that they aren’t seen from overlooks, etc… This image brings to mind lyrics from Dan Fogelberg’s “Nether Lands”... ”...Once in a vision / I came on some woods, / And stood at a fork in the road… / My choices were clear, / Yet I froze with the fear / Of not knowing which way to go… / One road was simple, / Acceptance of life… / The other road offered sweet peace… / When I made my decision, / My vision became my release.”........ ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: I stand at the ‘fork in the road’... ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: / High on this mountain / The clouds down below / I’m feeling so strong and alive / From this rocky perch / I’ll continue to search / For the wind / And the snow / And the sky / I want a lover / I want some friends / And I want to live in the sun / And I want to do all the things that I / never have done. / Sunny bright mornings / And pale moonlit nights / Keep me from feeling alone / Now, I’m learning to fly / And this freedom is like / Nothing that I’ve ever known / I’ve seen the bottom / And I’ve been on top / But mostly I’ve lived in between / And where do you go / When you get to the end of / your dream? / Off in the nether lands / I heard a sound / Like the beating of heavenly wings / And deep in my brain / I can hear a refrain / Of my soul as she rises and sings / Anthems to glory and / Anthems to love and / Hymns filled with early delight / Like the songs that the darkness / Composes to worship the light. / Once in a vision / I came on some woods / And stood at a fork in the road / My choices were clear / Yet I froze with the fear / Of not knowing which way to go / One road was simple / Acceptance of life / The other road offered sweet peace / When I made my decision / My vision became my release. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Canon EOS T1i, 18/55mm, auto / near Jordan pond, Acadia National Park, Mt.

Great Ocean Road - Wye River Bend by mspfoto
Just as well your in a slow mood when adventuring along the The Great Road, some of the bends have to be taken slow. Incidentally I have travel the Great Ocean Road around 5 time in the past 3 years. This was the first time I did it south to north, my advice make sure you plan your trip north to south to take advantage of the great stops and look out on the way. When travelling north you have to cross the road to enter the stops and lookouts and it can be quite a dangerous endeavour.

Vadheim to Sande Road, Norway by Margaret Hyde
We travelled up and down this road by 40+ seater bus and because of the 13 sharp hairpins and 18% incline and the narrow road, the section of the bus in front of the wheels was over the edge. We managed to get front seats above and in front of the driver’s seat and so were out “in space” on each of the turns – awesome! It was also exciting when another bus had to pass us – not much space between them.

Gravel Road to Nowhere by bgaynor
Off the beaten path, a gravel road looms in the distance among the cornfields and big sky. Who knows where this untraveled path may lead? Photo taken in Kaneville, Illinois.

This snow fell overnight, much to the delight of the visitors (us) though the falling trees were much too close to our parked car.

This was a very steep narrow road with about 50 hairpin bends. The pass itself is 1611 metres high, and is between Kranjska Gora and the Soca Valley. It was a very cold and windy trip.
