On the Road by fiveplustwo

On the Road

I drove 200kms to get here. It was a spot where I knew I would be alone. No one else.

I felt a return to The Seven when this theme was chosen. My final shot there was standing on a lonely road and I wanted this shot to be different.

Hence the camera.
Big lens!

Dusty track....where's your hat????

What's a photo worth if you're not prepared to travel to capture it! Great shot but I agree with @onie_m where's your hat?

Dave the bear would love it here ~ any sign of his arrival?

@kjarn - tight buns?

@gavincci - Thank you. This is Australia.

@onie_m @judithdeacon - No need for a hat. The sun was tame.

@alisonp - Have been out of country for a while and have not yet visited the post office. Will check tomorrow.

That's a long drive, looks like it was worth it though- this is amazing Jason, what an awesome spot. And I'm jealous of your big lens :)

"Only Mad dogs & Englishmen ....." (A tame sun in Aus would scald the soul in other parts of the world!)You're not english are you? - so of course no hat - somehow you don't look dressed.
Love the sense of future focus that you've captured - I feel a beginning in this composition.

@gsanemone - Thanks.

@grammyn - I'm feeling better... but earlier...

@houdiniem - big backpack?

@sunshinephoto5 - hee hee hee

@michelleyoung - Thanks Michelle. That is sweet of you to say so.

@tabbycat - YAY Alligators!

@kazlamont - took a bit of the saturation out, and increased the 'warmth' to try and heat up the shot a little.

@snowflakes86 - the weather was cool too.

@kittikat - I am genetically English but born in Australia. I found leaving PNG and heading south quite cool for the weather and being in winter (look at the length of that shadow for 11:30am) the sun was rather feeble.

You've lined this up perfectly - beautiful scene
July 30th, 2013  
Totally National Geographic photographer!

The light was feeble...but still shirt sleeve weather! I like the thought of going for a drive just to get to a lonely stretch of road....very nice.
July 30th, 2013  
I can feel the heat of that place - awesome shot!
