The Parkway
Uploaded: October 22, 2012 15:56:13
I have a weakness for photographing roads. When I'm out and see a scene I like that includes a road I often stop to take pictures. I don't know if it's the lines cutting through the landscape or the idea of where the road leads - I just know I like them. This one was taken about a week and a half ago on the Blue Ridge Parkway around mile post 416.

Shawn, this is beautiful; the composition totally draws the viewer into the gorgeous scenery, while also depicting a hint of mystery, wondering what is around the curve!! Wonderful work! #1496007JO ANN CLEVELAND November 10, 2012
