Country Road Sierra Nevada.JPG

An old ranch road that relaxes the mind and body.A favorite place to

stop and sit along the side of the road to watch, listen and smell.

Love it. I like that you included the cattle guard in the photo. This reminds me of some Montana ranch roads I've been lost on. Well, somehow Garmin knew where I was....

Well done :)

I'm delighted! I imagine myself on my bike on a long riding tour through this kind of environment, on such a beautiful road and through such a beautiful nature!

very nice work!! nice composet!

I took some shots without the cattle guard and the photo just didn't work. I was concerned about such a strong focal point so prominent in the foreground, but just told myself that it "anchored" the road and allowed you to step over it into the photo.  My rationlization.  My other concern was the tree-line at such a steep angle to the right. (actual slope) Any attempt to adjust it just made the cattle guard's actual lean to the left seem unreal. I'm going back to take other shots from the fence line, on a ladder, etc... just to break out the habit of standard formats.  My favorite road.

Ed  This straight on shot works.  It kinda says,"Come visit me in the mountains.  Just follow the road.  I'm at the end." 

The little car adds to this point.  Alan
