Good composition, the lines guide te eye very well to the right.
Good b/w also, although I see the sky in halos ?

The tree in the middle of the frame stops me from looking right, captures my attention. I like the gradual narrowing of the road from the wide base, makes it this image stable for me. The stone walls adds structural strength. I love the shadows, masterfully done. Very pleasing image to behold, nice work.

Probably I'm gonna crash into those walls because I'm busy watching this beautiful scenery!

Hmmmm.........I bypass taking pictures around most of the horse farms around here because there is nowhere for me to pull off the road. Did you stop in the road and take a quick shot?

@Virgil: Rarely do I stop in the road...safety first...mine and yours. Most farms have wide service entries that are on the public right of way, I pull in as far to one side as possible making certain my pulling wheel is always on terra firma. I do not block a driveway unless I'm truly hopping out for a quick snap. That's what I did here and most of my rural shots. Also, I mentioned a few months back that I'm adding a used mountain bike to my shooting gear. I've been watching Craigslist.
Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United States
Great shot. If the signs don't do the trick it looks like the wall will!

@Chris Parr: thx! The are several great signs along this winding lane, most of which had been run over during the ice storm. The rock and plank fences are run into with regularity.
hugo poon from hong kong, Hong Kong
As always, very beautiful b&w tone and composition and the landscape you've captured is just lovely! BTW, did you finally get that mountain bike to ride along these lanes?:-)

@hugo poon: thx! Have not found a good used bike yet, if I don't find a used one in the next few weeks I will have to buy a new one.
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Or else. That rock wall looks unforgiving. Great tones and textures. That curving wall is really nice.

@Steve Rice: thx! Most of these are dry stone, laid with no mortar or reinforcing. Essentially a pile of rocks with various outcomes :] Notice the two lighter sections that have been relaid after being hit.
Suzanne from Huntington Bch, California, United States
Another excellent composition emphasizing the long shadows. Well done.

Yes, that wall looks a little unforgiving . . and there is little room for error !

I feel the same as you; I do not block driveways or stop in the street. A Mountain bike is an idea.....however...I have found a safe place to park(church parking lot) and hiked back.

@Virgil: I wouldn't ride a bike on a busy road, but might find a use for it on the country lanes.
