Curvy road in Arizona Desert.
A picturesque mountain road in the Alpes -Maritimes. This curvy and narrow road is called : “The col de Vence.” / / The rocks along the road are very impressive and beautiful.
Going back in time with these old cars It’s a wonder how they keep them on the road this is the sort of motor car you see Cuba… Part of the Cuban experience… (-:
If you are not prepared to give up your past, you may as well ride back into it.

Driving along Little River Road in the Great Smoky Mountains can be an enjoyable experience. Fall is an extra special time to take a trip through its twisting turns as it snakes its way along the Little River. It runs between the “Wye” at Townsend and The Smokies visitor center outside of Gatlinburg. The color at times can be breathtaking. Wildlife though seldom viewed can range from otter to bear, for an added bonus of the wonderful autumn views. Megis Falls and The Sinks are also about mid way thru the drive.
This old tree has been torn apart probably by lighting. There appeared to be some leaves showing above the grass last summer so I believe it’s still alive. I was sitting close to it just enjoying the view one day. I kept being drawn back to it. If it were in the forest it probably wouldn’t be that noticeable. Out there in the open field, it’s seen by all. I thought how a lot of people should be like this tree. Their lives are torn apart by abusiveness and they need to bring it out in the open for all to see. Though torn apart they are still alive inside, but maybe not for long. Sadly though most try and keep it hidden. They try to blend in with everyone else. They go through every fearful minute of life like the tree hidden away in the forest….if you think you know someone that may be being abused point this tree out to them as I have you, tell them the difference in it and the one being in the forest. Sometimes all they need is a little push. Telling about a tree in a field is a way of gently approaching the subject Image taken in Cades Cove, Great smoky Mountain NP
This was taken in the same place as the next photo.
Another of the Globe, AZ dump truck series.
Took this while on the freeway to Reno. I was in awe of how beautiful the moutains surrounding this freeway were. I included the trucks for comparison on the size and of course the beauty of this mountains. I took this photo through the front window of my truck. As Is / Nikon D80 / Lens 50-200mm
This horse is so beautiful and again I failed to catch him with his ears pointing forward.

near medicine park in oklahoma. near lawton/ fort sill. took my sis for a drive one afternoon to show her oklahoma and this is what we found ;) Nikon d80 / march 2009 Earth Keepers Group: I love reusing platic and glass containers instead of throwing them away. They can be decorated and used to hold all sorts of things. This way you don’t have to go buy containers, you’re saving it from being in a landfill… or found in fields like these all over Oklahoma. With the wind we get…there is almost always garbage flying everywhere you can see… Very sad!
...if you were facing this way but most people were going the other way! I have a love/hate affair with freeways, hate being on them but love taking photos of them and seeing this one is only 5 minutes from my house it’s always the one I go to. Walking home from the station I looked up and that damn this is gonna be a good sunset and as I didn’t have enough time to get anywhere near the coast or somewhere beautiful I headed here instead. / Settings Canon 40D, 10-22mm EF-S.

Beautiful old Oak tree along a drive which has lots of oaks and all of them are unique and beautiful. I was standing under this tree and felt its caress as I looked up at all those branches.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.” / ~ John Muir There is nothing like the feeling after a hot summer’s day to take a drive up the canyon. The pressures of the day are forgotten as we drive up the winding canyon road, visiting and catching up with the day’s events. As we drive through the last of the canyon the view opens up and Pine View Dam appears. The sailboats and fishing boats are making the most of the last few hours of light. As we pass by the Dam, we arrive in the country atmosphere of the mountain valley. All around us are farms and fields with cattle and sheep. We roll down the windows to allow the cooler mountain air to blow in one window through the car and out the other, taking with it the stress and worries of the day. / Life seems to run on a slower pace up here. Tonight, there is no hurry to get anywhere, no schedule to keep. We can enjoy the view, visit and catch each other up on the details of our day. / Our traditional route takes us past Pine View Dam and up South Fork. The south fork river runs right by the road. We pass campgrounds and smell the smoke of campfires. We might stop and walk down to the river. This picture was taken on an evening drive up the canyon. We had been in a campground and were just turning back onto the main road, when I noticed the evening sun lighting one of the hills of the mountains and took a moment to capture the view before continuing on. These evening drives are a little tradition we still keep that began in the first years of our marriage. 20 years ago…... when our life together consisted of it just my husband and I. With money scarce with the cost of school at the College, in 20 minutes or so we could be in another “world”. The money spent on the gas to get us there was well worth the change in routine and atmosphere. I would take a book and he would take his fishing pole, and we would stop along the river, wherever he thought there would be a good fishing hole. I would enjoy the mountain air and read as he would try his skills to catch a fish. As the children came along, life got busier and our drives up the canyon would include our kids. We would have hot dog roasts for a picnic dinner and let the kids wade in the river. Over the years with the demand of family life, these evening drives became less and less. Now it is a delicious treat to take a drive up the canyon. ** / John Muir quote contributed by Bill billfox256 / South Fork Ogden Valley in Northern Utah 2009
RED COUNTRY BARNS / Best viewed large. / / This is a photo I captured of some beautiful country barns while driving out in the country and back roads of northeastern Kentucky. These barns are very old, and look like they have just had a fresh coat of red paint. I adore how the red barns contrast with the green grass surrounding them. I thought they were perfect for a lovely country scene! / / / / Photo captured with my Canon EOS 40D camera.
