I just want to express my gratitude to those that saw the interest in my photo. This picture was taken towards the west and just over the mountains a few miles is the Pacific ocean. Early morning fog in that area kept me from capturing any color in the sky, at the same time I wanted to take advantage of the early morning sunrise light from the east. It is damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Thanks for the votes and wonderful comments.

Neat shot - love the concept. It would have been nice if you'd gotten some color in the sky. With the absense of color, though, the road isn't quite interesting enough for this to be a really powerful shot. Maybe if you had framed it so there was more diagonal road? 7 - chrisab.

I like the monotone? here.

I like the way the road leads the eye right thru the shot.

Nice photo! This looks like a really fun road to ride a motorbike on.

A very beautiful corner of my world, too! Now, if we could keep the idiots from burning 'them thar hills'! I really do love how the road draws meforward into the distance. Makes me want to travel just a little bit further to see what is over the next hill.
Too bad you couldn't get a little more blue in the sky, but oh well. Might be a little too yellow, too. A 10 from me.

I love how the road draws you into the picture...

Wow - what a landscape! I like the picture...

what color was the sky? i guess the ground is so light that the light meter makes the sky disappear. tried different times of day? your grandma must love all the stars at night, i'm jealous. tried long exposures at night? they come out real nice sometimes.

well, your gradma have a very nice view. Nice shot
09/24/2002 09:21:00 PM
I looked at this a long time - I like the sky being completely out as the ridgeline makes the road disappearance a point to which my eye is drawn - the key in your shot is i think to force the eye to follow the line of the road out of view and it is done well here ! great pic! 8 sgtpepper6344

Northern California is pretty. Perhaps a bottom crop would be better. JEM

Wonderful shot. The perspective is nice. The colors are rich. Nice job!

Really nice! The rolling curves of the road take lead my mind down and around and up......! The only negative of this beautiful picture is the white color of the sky.
Doesn't look natural.
