Beautiful shot Wanda! Love how you placed the road off center! This reminds me of Colorado! I like the low hanging clouds too!

Great open and wide shot Wanda.
I like how you comoposed this with the road on the left.
The additional peaks in the background is a great touch.
Great natural colors.
Well done.

Hi Wanda,
Wow! Beautiful scenery and I like your point of view. Nos yeux sont entrainés sur la route vers l'infini du chemin. Bravo mon amie!

Hey Wanda - this is also a bit like the countryside around my mother's home in the Scottish Borders. And I'm currently sitting in the lounge at Changi airport before heading back there for a long weekend...

Anyway, your photo! Well composed, very representative of Scottish country roads, the colours a lifelike and the combo of blue skies mingling with thunderclouds is also a fair representation of Scottish weather!

Very nice shot, Wanda.

Hello Wanda,

The minute that I saw the sky, I knew it was not from your homeland! Actually, the sky makes a good integral part of your photograph!
Good pov with the off-centre track leading the eye.
I love how the colours decline and recede into the distance. This is a great shot for a painter to copy!

Just imagine if you had to drive on roads like that all the time! Most of the roads are quite narrow where I live ... but not one track! It does keep the speed down though!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

"You take the High road & Ill take the low road & I'll be in scotland before yea" seems to come to my mind on viewing this image Wanda,brings back very fond memories,colourful & natural loooking landscape of this part of the globe well seem & taken,I guess you can get a wee scare driving on these narrow roads,you never know what's around the corner:)
warm regards

A nicely composed image Wanda, what impresses me the most is the natural looking colour and teh detail throughout. I see some gorse by the roadside, the only thing missing is the purple of the heather. Just beautiful,

Bonjour Wanda
What a stunning landscape. It looks like a desert but since the photo was shot in March, I presume it was all green by now. That single lane road is inviting and I rather pedal than drive on this kind of stretch. Very nice succession of hills and mountains and a real threatening sky.
Very nice photo and a good contribution to the theme.
Bravo Wanda

A nice view Wanda. I would like to see more of the road in the foreground - after all it is the main subject here. But a very pleasing landscape never the less.

And yes indeed, this could be in any number of places in Scotland. I remember those roads and luckily Ad thought it was fun to drive, so I just let him ^-^.
Hi Wanda,
An excellent composed picture of beautiful and rugged Scotland.

Hello Wanda

A lovely scenic shot here, nice lead through with the road and the fence with good sharp detail and natural colours. That sky looks menacing I hope you took a brolly


TFS and for joining in the theme

Hi Wanda,
It certainly is a beautiful scene...bleak, but beautiful. It would be an interesting road to drive on a dark night.
You have made a friend for life, Marilyn was so tickled that you mentioned her name.
Cheers,
Pete.

Shots like this one make me homesick for Britain. I have lived in Canada 12 years now and there is some lovely countryside but "theres no place like home" I think it has something to do with the changeable weather which creates such lovely soft light and shade.
Great capture.
