Love it Cindy, that road keeps all that autumn glory from overwhelming the shot, which sometimes happens. Outstanding picture, great focus * clarity. High marks from me !!!
Now ... replace the paved road with a dirt road .. and .. add in a rampaging horse-drawn carriage rushing toward me, the driver and companion are clad in worn, dirty, riveted, and tasseled leather ... as they draw near I raise my hand to shield my eyes from the sun and catch sight of a sneer and raised weapon taunting me to try and stop their passage ... I, of course, am unable to react fast enough .. and they are gone
I'll wait here for the re-work .. (*humming can be heard*) .. "dum de dum dum .. boop boop be boop" .. (*whistling, now*)
"Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many."- "I wish the Ring had never come to me.
I wish none of this had happened..." "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."-Gandalf
Love the title. It fits. I would love to be on my way and see what is around that curve. The colors in this composition are absolutly rich. This is beautiful. I can even feel a fall chill in the air, a crispness, when looking at this. Very excellent work.
