This is the marvelous mountain road called Serra do Rio do Rastro, in Santa Catarina, South of Brazil. 23 Km of hairpin curves and exuberant vegetation all around. We can see several waterfalls on the other side of the valley while driving down the road. Web link bellow.
Weather changes very rapidly. In few seconds we lost this view to a cloudy look.
The horizon is not tilted! This is the way one sees it if stands at the top of the mountains. It goes down very fast giving the impression that horizon is tilted.

Cheers,
Wellington

Hi Wellington,
I was just logging out for the day when I caught sight of this shot. What a simply unbelievable sight! Simply stunning. I love your composition too - one half in clouds, and the other filled with lovely greenery. I cant figure out how cars dont fall off the mt! Wish I could take this road:)
Rgds,

Olá Wellington,
Você está nos deixando com água na boca!...
Belíssimo lugar e extraordinária foto.
DOF admirável
Das suas melhores,
Abraço
Raimundo

O enquadramento ficou muito bom. A perspectiva faz parecer que a estrada está "deitada" para a esquerda e que os carros escorregariam. O detalhe das nuvens ficou bom, dá um aspecto "machu Pichu" para a foto.
Muito bom
Robert

Interesting photos, Wellington. I just wrote a long note about your motorcyclist today. In this photo I see that you also have twisty and treacherous roads on hillsides. In this photo they look like they would cause vehicles to slide off because the roads look like they are at an angle downwards. Is that true?

I just remembered a place in the entrance the San Francisco Bay where you can drive your car to the top of a sharp hill, then the road turns abruptly to the side and you literally feel as if you're going drive off into the ocean from a very high elevation -- like a roller coaster -- in nature! :O)

I can only image what daring it took to construct these road . . . and/or how many lives were lost in the process.

Interesting sharp mountainous landscapes too.

A foto está excelente,a paissagem é soberba,só escusam de me convidar a andar de carro aí,rs.Abraço

Ciao Wellington


Robert-E acertou quando falou que esta vista parece
Machu Picchu. Sim ela se parece com a trilha de
subida para a visitação dos Condor no topo desta trilha -
Huayna Picchu.
Eu tenho fotos desta trilha que ele menciona.
Pelo que eu vejo, temos algo em comum neste planeta!
Bonito tiro e grande visual!
Saudações

Bonjour Wellington.
Incroyable tracé routier sur cette montagne.
Je viens de parcourir quelques images de ce dossier et j’y ai trouvé de belles images.
Félicitation.
Bonne journée.
