The Road

[Heroique]

Just for fun, here’s a twist on the road theme – the abandoned road of a glacier.

When the glacier retreated the same way it came, it tossed some large rocks out the window, like beer cans on the highway. Check out that big one, middle right.

Thanks to climate change, I fear this road will be abandoned for quite some time.

Sad, but funny too!

I could not find a topic for such a subject, but it seems fitting to have one. I'll start it off with a photograph I made in 2017 in Albany County, Wyoming.

Looking forward to seeing photographs of the road to feed my wanderlust.

I am not sure if I missed this originally but today it struck me as a marvel of composition. the top cut off by the clouds and the curve of the road leaving the picture frame only to come back in and leave again. All too likely I would have turned to the right and tried to include the complete road. But no you went for a composition that is fresh and dynamic and unique. Really well done!

thank you for the complement. That was my original idea, to have the road in the frame, but for some reason this composition was more interesting, if perhaps not as expected. I also like that the road's path is not known, it could be a continuation of the road or be a junction, leading to somewhere else. Man, the road really is an interesting thing isn't it? Wyoming is a stunning place.

I can't remember if I've already posted this before in a different thread. Apologies if so.
