Desolation Road

Twenty years ago I would drive this road daily.
I was in the area and decided to take it again and was surprised to see it had been closed.
Finding a discarded baby carriage in the road really amped up the creepiness factor.
I tried to capture that feeling with my processing.

A powerful image, described perfectly in the caption.

This scene does have an eerie and abandoned mood, Jeff. The way the grasses have but almost overtaken the road albeit from the just viable yellow lines. Quite haunting. Well done.V!!!

Your processing and the title of this image are a perfect match. Foreboding, desolate and moody. Very nicely done and presented Jeff. VVV

The abandoned baby carriage would be quite confronting...I'm sure the alternate route is in better condition but it wouldn't make such a great photo as this. V
Nick Paoni16-Nov-2018 21:25
OK I would have probably turned back by now.
Colin Storey16-Nov-2018 19:52

Surreal and post-apocalyptic. You created a mood worthy of a movie set.
