Distant mountain looks great. Even snow on the top.

the infinite road of endless dreams....

Its so beautiful

nice sunset I wish I was there *taps heals together three times*

I just love the way nature surrounds the road and the road travels off into infinity like bea said

Colori perfetti

Nice Picture Thanx hkvam ... : )

Would love to go for a drive here.

nice color for the asphalt

Darkness loves the rim

Cool Clouds

Love the contrast

Sometimes I go with the intentions to photograph certain places and nature just gives me a very good reason to stop on the way

Don't you know it, this was well worth pulling the car over. Wow! Absolutely fantastic. What an outstanding place to live. Excellent photo.

This is absolutely extraordinary Helga. The vanishing point of the road is a draw for the eye, but not nearly as strong as the wide range of colors and the sunset (& the horse).

Wow - This is an instant fave. I really like the saturated colors. The composition is very strong. My eyes keep popping from one side of the shot to the other.

This is a great shot!

jonbrown13 says:

This is a glorious image with multiple points of interest. It seems excessively colourful to begin with like a John Hinde postcard, but the complexity of the visual lines; sunset, cloudscape, the road's own perspective, and the horse grazing all make an interesting journey. I'd like to see this less saturated and about 3M x 2m in size!

Amazing ... the use of the flash to highlight the road markings makes this special. Without the white line, it's good, but the contrast between the two makes this a great shot. Wonderful work!
