There are so many roads just like this within 15 minutes of my house. My favorite thing when I have a little free time is to explore the primitive roads, many are not maintained at all. Thank goodness I have a jeep, which is often dirty and covered with dust.
The road in this looks a lot like some of the ones that we visited while in NM last Oct. This is a good scene in this image, and I would want to be out looking around to see what is there to shoot macro as well. You are fortunate to have open country where you can drive around without being fenced out too much.
What beautiful scenery to have so close to home! I would have a blast just getting lost there. Until I figured out I was lost, then I'd be a bit nervous.
Barbara, this looks almost surreal. The clouds are just... amazing and beautiful. The road has so much character and leads me right to those dreamy, far away mountains.... beautiful.
this is just stunning .. those beautiful colours complimenting each other so well .. the orange/red road, the green shrubs, the blue hazy mountains and those incredible clouds in the sky .. just awesome !!! . .. i wish i had a jeep just for my own road !!!..
so beautiful. those clouds are so perfect they almost look fake! love the way my eye follows that dip in the road, comes back up and then is treated by the lovely cool mountain peaks. nice!
