Description

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.

Exif: F Number: 16, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 67.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

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! #1496007
