Country Road

Had to head back out to our Nature Center near Ligonier, Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon and through last evening. This was actually taken then!
For me, it is such a relaxing thrill to be out on these winding country roads!

I have to agree that your compositin is perfect here Mindy. The white fence is also a magnificent contrast to the other elements in terms of colour, brightness, structure, texture, etc that it provides a great focal point. I really see this one as bing about the fence, not the road, which is not really so noticeable at all.

Perfect composition indeed, and excellent DOF. Makes me want to walk up the road to see where it goes. And I am jealous of the lush greens. Our grass is turning brown due to the intense heat 100+ all week...

Perfectly composed, a very nice shot!

Very nice perspective and compositon. Very nice colours!

This is indeed, a very special shot. I've been looking at it for several minutes straight, my eye following the curve of the road up around the corner, then the white fence jumps out and I follow it around as it parallels the road. I love the brick work in the bottom right foreground which, to me, presents a subtle visual anchor to the entire shot. I also agree with you Mindy, the counrty roads add quite a bit to ones day! Voted.

You got me singing to myself..."the long and winding road...."

MIndy this is really pretty and its a soothing photo to look at.
Is this nature center open to the public?

What a great fence to sit on and wait for the next car to go by...
Guest 13-Jul-2005 18:52

Nothing prettier than a white country fence, and this one is especially nice. And everything is so beautifully green. We are brown and burning up. Lovely, Mindy.
Rochelle Weiss13-Jul-2005 17:56
What a nice peaceful country feel to this image.
Guest 13-Jul-2005 16:59
Looks like a beautiful area and you have captured it for all of us to see...Thanks for sharing!

Great contrast between the left, perfectly tended, side of the road and the wilder overgrown right. Super image!

I'm a lover of curves myself :-)..it's good that you can get out Mindy, and nothing recharges the batteries like a lonely country road..Well done!
Gayle P. Clement13-Jul-2005 16:10
A beautiful peaceful scene and I love the curve!
