Road to Nowhere

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 18 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

From the archives. This was taken near De Doorns, after getting lost, this stretch of road, just seemed to go on forever.

De Doorns (´the thorns´ in Dutch), for the Acacia Karoo thorn trees on the Hex River banks

Very nice shot! You got lost at the right time.. freshly painted, and the road is in an excellent condition too! Great landscape shot!

The textures in this one are incredible! The road looks so rough and the mountains, sky, and clouds, so smooth!

This is such a good shot, the textures of the tarmac and the gravel, the incredibly straight white lines, and the blue mountains in the distance. I love it.

Very cool, Graham. I'm on the lookout for a shot just like this. Of course, I won't find one with a mountain in it like yours ... but I love that long, infinite perspective you've nailed here.

Quite a mesmerising composition with the perspective of the road and its white line. Cloud highlights are a bit lacking in the upper right side, although this is a small detail. Otherwise, a great image. I'm impreseed how you've been able to make this so interesting without including any other subject, such as a vehicle or person.
