F3.5-5.6 G Nikkor (24-120), 80 mm, 1/500, ISO 200, 4:45 PM - While moving down life's well driven highway, occasionally one come's to a fork in the road, or a "tunnel" if you will. Sometimes, all is not as it appears, eh

Generally one will "stay the course", however, some "visionaries or adventurers" will take 'the road less travelled, where dreams come true', through the tunnel and under the rainbow… There are really only two times in life you know; now and too late… This is obviously 2 photographs. (or we have some crazy road engineers up here in Canada) For the next couple of days I'll be using a series of compilations and PS CS effects to create what I think are intesesting scenarios. I do hope that you'll like them, eh… After all, all is not always as it appears, eh… - Allan #159776

Allan L. Whitehead September 16, 2004 0

Thank you veery much Kathleen, Leanne, and Nobi, for the comments and appreciated kind words. This idea was inspired by walking through a 'flea market' called "The Stouffeville Barns" about 8 years ago, and seeing some 'North American Native Art' that showed a doorway, in the middle of an intense forest, that lead into another world within the heart of the forest. It obviously left a lasting impression and I have been looking for an opportunity to potray something similar to that since then. Thank yau all again - your good friend, Allan #785729
