Wow Carolyn, this is so pretty. Were you standing in the middle of the road to shoot? ;) #91266Carolyn M. Fletcher January 26, 2004
Yes! Of course I was!! There wasn't much traffic..This is on about a 70 mile stretch of nothing but scenery. There's nothing out there but one campground. You can hear cars coming a long time before they hit you. Luckily, I'm not deaf! Yet. #348303William C. Raco January 26, 2004
Perfect leading line into those great colors.bill #348304

Just gorgoues, Carolyn!! #348311Allan L. Whitehead January 26, 2004
Great shot Carolyn. My first photography teacher (Ed Allen, (80) and you would've loved him, like we all did) used to tell us "always look for some sort of an 's' in your photos, as it draws the viewer deeper into your shot's. I know of what you speak, when out in the country, and you can hear traffic approaching from miles away it seems. You've done a great job here Carolyn. Keep shootin - Allan ;-} #348314Theresa McCloskey January 26, 2004

Thanks Mary!! After this one was shot, I got in some serious fog and couldn't see anything but the line in the middle of the road for about 10 miles. It was quite scary! #363817Jean Papo February 06, 2004
