...further down the road, the shadows are still long. A lovely journey.

S curve, lovely country road, nice shadow cutting across the road and the strips of "salt?". Actually, rather like the grid fencing on the right too. Wonderful fine and composition.

@JamesC: thx! the salt brine was sprayed on by the road crew in preparation for a snow or ice event. The plank fencing is more horse friendly, and are often doubled to protect the public from being bitten. They are doubled through pastures to generously separate the stallions. Though beautiful and regal, thoroughbreds can be man eaters best approached with caution. Example

This is simply the most beautiful country road. Everything is just so perfect...not a twig out of place. Again, the pattern of the shadows is terrific. Will you come back in the spring and photograph this scene again when the trees have their leaves? I doubt that I would like it any better but I would be interesting to see.

@Suzanne: I shall do that for you! In Summer the roads become tunnels through canopies of leaves.

Such a nice composition of this country road. It looks like a sleepy place, very relaxed.

This curve is the quid of the image.
I Think it's a great composition. And, of course, that splendid b/w.
A beautiful field to drive.
