[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I woke up very early this morning and took a drive through some country roads looking for a photo opportunity. I found this little bridge and thought it was pretty. If you stood on this bridge and looked to your left, this is where the sign is in another photo I took on TE (Hungry Tree) and also in (Shadows & Mist).

Glad you took that drive Stephen. This is a beautifull landscape. Teh fog and warm morning colour gives it such soft feeling. Teh way you framed teh road with the trees in the foreground is beutifull amd the bend of teh road works really well too in leading the eye in to teh picture.

I absolutely love misty, country lane scenes, and this one with all it's colours of nature is lovely.
I like the composition with the "ess" curve of the lane at exists at the bottom left hand corner.

Nice softness, details and colours.
A good landscape-picture here, Stephen.

Beaucoup de poésie dans ce paysage brumeux. Bravo Stephen.

superbe atmosphère de brouillard....bravo

Tout a fait subblime....atmosphere a faire rever n'importe quel photographe....avec cette brume et ces couleurs incroyables...
Ce qui attire le plus mon attention. Ce sont ces traces droites qui ont l'air d'ignorer completement ces planches tranversales....
Allez hop dans mes favoris....
Félicitation et merci!!!!

Very surreal Stephen. You could have possibly set up a little left. Good job!

take me home
to the place
i belong
Nacogdoches

ok - so the old song said west virignia
but Nacogdoches fits in nicely

the road mustn't have been too busy
in terms of your safety - we hope

Wowwwwwww
Wonderful shot Stephen.
I like the hazy effect.
Very nice composition.
Bravo

Superb composition Stephen.
Great leading lines, tone & color along with the natural framing.
Well seen!

It is a beautiful photo Stephen!
I love the deep tranquility of the shot, makes me wish I could be there after a hard day of work, just to relax. The road is leading into places unknown... The bridge is just in the perfect place... Well done!

With a few fall leaves still in the trees and many on the ground there is a lot of soft color. The misty road seems to wind to nowhere and the way the worn areas in the road are highlighted work very well.

Like "Follow the Yellow/Brown Brick/Dusty Road..." You have a beautiful photo here. I love the softness you have captured and the colours are wonderful, so tuned in with each other. Thank you

oh my goodness...the fog, the little bits of color, the sun trying to break through...i love it!

You have a prize image here. The feel of the country in the morning mist has been done so well.

love this shot. the old two roads story and i take this one for sure. soft and so inviting. just lovely.

In fact, you have a whole series of beautiful shots with lovely mist. Good mastery of both colours, sharpness and depth. And your black frames actually suit the photos.

Les couleurs sont magnifiques. Un moment magique saisi dans le temps. Cette photo va tout droit parmi mes favorites.

I like this photo.
I don't like the frame, but it is only a personale preference.
