Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: #100 The Long and Winding Road

Tina chose “The Long and Winding Road” as our photo topic this week.  I found a few of my favorites looking back through the archives.  

I enjoy photographing roads or paths that meander out of sight, around the bend .  They seem to bring up questions such as where the road leads, what sights are around the bend, how old is the path, who are the people or animals using it?  Each of these roadways look so inviting that it is hard not to want to explore them.  

“When the road ahead seems too long, look back to see how far you’ve come.  For even if the hill before you is steep, the view gives you hope to finish the journey.” – Adira Daniella

The first image shows the road disappearing at the top of a long, steep hill as it winds its way down to the trees and lake.

“The Road Not Taken” – Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear…

“An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” – Henry David Thoreau
