Two Roads

I had to go to California City on business today.
It's a town about 75 miles East of Bakersfield,
on the edge of the Mojave Desert.
I swear that many of the roads to people's homes are like these.
Good clouds for me : )

California City has one prison,
one landowners' resort,
one PGA golf course
and one stop light.

I've often wanted to drive down one of those roads... The terrain reminds me of "Bad Day At Black Rock"...

I love this landscape shot. As Craig said, this is very dramatic: colous, clouds, etc.

Wow, Doug! Love it!

I really like this! The sky is amazing and you do some great PP on your shots. The best part though is how disorientated and dizzy you get from trying to figure out this shot with the the roads to infinity.

Excellent shot.

Excellent find and perspective. Look like the same dramatic sky from Bakersfield followed you :-) It's an amazingly beautiful landscape shot, Doug. Voted.

Two roads that look to go nowhere! Nice find. And another superb treatment.

Yep, those clouds are just for you! Wonder if the landowner's resort houses the warden and Barney Fife? And of couse the grounds keeper :)

Great photo! I spent about 2 mins gazing at this trying to figure out if you photo-shopped a single road into 2!! The sky worked out quite well for yah. . .
