Blazing Color at Lake Britton Bridge

Large view available. I'll take the scenic highway over the Interstate

whenever I can. The tiered colors on the hills ablaze in shades of yellow

drove me to pull off on the shoulder to record this sight. The yellow line

down the center of the road complements the trees and keeps the roadway

a relevent element in this image. I would appreciate your thoughts as well

as your preference of this image vs. the next. Thanks in advance for your

time and interest. Larry

I love the fall colours and the mist creeping into the top right of the image, such a magical combination, it immediately evokes that damp autumnal atmosphere, my favourite time of year. 

I have to confess to not being a great admirer of roads in landscape images, paths and tracks seem ok to me, but highways always seem to conflict with nature (in my eyes of course).  That being said the composition is spot on with the sweeping bend pulling the viewer  into the scene.

Compliments & Best Regards

Hi Alf,   Thanks for your visit and comment.  I am not a fan of putting roads in images either, but this scene begged to be captured.  I had no alternative,.  The weather was bad with a drilling rain; the day had limited light left; and I had many miles to go to get to Redding, my destination before dark.  Thanks, Alf - I always value your critiques.  Larry
