Winter Backroad

Another shot from our drive taking in the fresh snow yesterday morning on our snow day. I parked in the lane I was driving in. Got out and snapped this shot. Not many people were out so I was fine standing in the middle of the road.

I put this up on Facebook last night and it got a tons of love, so I thought I would share it here, too. I think that this was my favorite of my snow shots from yesterday.
Brilliant idea Amanda. Really like it. Lovely composition, just great the way you have framed that curve.
March 7th, 2013  
wow,love that yellow line,leading you thru the snowy scene. fav
March 7th, 2013  
As you already know... I LOVE this! It's so simple, but that line down the road is fantastic in this photo. It just draws you away. I want to drive down that road.
March 7th, 2013  
Like Susan said, I dig the leading line. The yellow really pops and leads you into the photograph. Really, really well seen and captured! Fav!
March 7th, 2013  
Awesome shot! Love it :) Fav for me ...
March 7th, 2013

March 7th, 2013

March 7th, 2013  
Brilliant pov love the selective toning !
March 7th, 2013  
Great framing - love that yellow curve. Making the best of a snow day. Good for you.
March 7th, 2013  
@paul2782 Natural selective toning. I considered doing it and didn't need to:). Thanks, Paul!
March 7th, 2013  
nice shot !!
March 7th, 2013  
Great shot, I love the framing, and the trees share a softer feeling along the sides of the road.
March 7th, 2013  
great shot - that yellow line leading down the road and the snowy scene really work!
March 7th, 2013  
Those yellow lines really stand out a mile. I love your composition with that winding and undulating road.
March 7th, 2013  
Great curves and that yellow makes it. Well worth road-parking.
March 7th, 2013  
Awesome! The yellow really stands out!
March 7th, 2013  
Good eye - nice comp!
March 7th, 2013  
As has been said, the yellow dividing lines were captured in a really attractive way. I think this is a very nifty winter shot Amanda. Although I am missing the gazebo ;)
March 7th, 2013  
Like the crazy yellows.
March 8th, 2013  
A pretty winter scene!
March 8th, 2013  
brilliant!!! a def FAV!
March 8th, 2013  
The yellow lines are awesome!
March 8th, 2013  
Love the pop of the yellow lines :)
March 8th, 2013

Cool - looks almost selectively coloured!
March 8th, 2013  
Fantastic shot Amanda, lovely curve in the road a big FAV for me
March 8th, 2013  
Love this Amanda, and not just any old road, but one that rises, falls and twists!! +F
March 8th, 2013  
Very striking.
March 8th, 2013  
love that yellow leading line as well. esp in the snowy scene!
March 8th, 2013  
Fav. Awesome shot.
March 8th, 2013  
Excellent!
March 8th, 2013  
I love how it feels like it could be monochromatic except for the yellow stripes!
March 8th, 2013  
Great composition! It almost looks like SC but I'm sure it isn't. Love the long winding road (although not the song actually...)
March 8th, 2013  
Wonderful perspective and selective colour!!
March 8th, 2013  
Brilliant clarity and composition on this Amanda. The line of color is intense...so vivid. Fav
March 8th, 2013  
Wow, I love this! That stripe of yellow is awesome! I love how it pops! A fave!
March 8th, 2013  
Lovely shot, the yellow really pops. You make the snow look glorious.
March 8th, 2013  
Lovin' the SC :o) xx
March 8th, 2013

@katharinehubbard You are sweet, lady. Thank you so much!

@mgozzard Thank you, Margaret! Appreciate that!

@sugarmuser Thanks, Sharon. You are kind. I loved the leading lines, too. Wish I had thought of a shot like this for theme roadways or leading lines:)

@darrenboyj Aw, thanks so much, Darren. Appreciate that, man:).

@anazad511 Thanks, Ana. I took a shot here back in the fall with the lovely color. It was from the sidewalk, though. I think that the lines in the street make the shot.

@laurenjessopphotography Thanks, Lauren. I did, too:).

@barbsmith Thanks, Barb. I just love it when it's fresh and clean and quiet after a snow.

@softbootsailer Thanks, Bob!!

@fullcircle Aw, thanks so much, Miss Cindy. Love your great comments!:)

@bazanderson Thanks, Baz. I was so pleased with how it turned out:).

@steampowered Thanks, Paul. So bright in the stark scene. Happy weekend!

@archaeofrog I thought so. So glad that no one came up behind me. Thank you, friend!

@melody2289 Thanks, Miss Melody!

@bpaquette Thanks so much, my friend! So glad it turned out and I didn't get hit or forced to move.

@adamj Stay tuned...many many more gazebo shots to come;-). Thanks, Adam. You are funny!

@aliwarner Me, too. Thanks so much, Ali!

@kwind Thanks, Kim. You over winter yet? I am in ways, but will miss the snow days!

@steffguayante Aw, you are kind, Steff! Thank you!:)

@wendyhgill Thanks, Wendy. I dug them, too:)!

@alia_801 Thank you, Alia. Really appreciate that!

@jewelsandbinoculars Weird, huh...I considered doing it for a second and thought, Nah, good enough:)! Thanks!

@simon0128 Thanks so much for that, Simon! Appreciate the fav and comments!
March 9th, 2013  
@seanoneill Thanks so much, Sean...it's a great stretch of road. I did a fall shot here months back, but was on the sidewalk. The middle of the road perspective made this one, though, I think! Appreciate your fav. Man, you really rocked it last week with your power plant photos!!! Well done!

@embarkr Thanks, Matt! Appreciate that!

@moreyoulessme Thanks, Jerri! You are sweet!

@edie Aw, thank so much, Miss Edie. You are good to me. Happy weekend!

@intalexual Thanks, Paul!

@melissapike Thanks, lady. I liked that, too!:)

@fueast Yeah, the song isn't the best. Glad that I didn't use that as a title. I even considered doing SC to get out the bit of color and thought, Nah, good enough! Thanks, Alison!

@carolmw Thanks, Carol. It's nice how the snow gave it natural selective coloring. Congrats on your top 5 shots with your lovely bridge. I think that I had faved all of the top shots!

@losthorizon Aw, thanks so much, Beau. Really appreciate that. Happy weekend...get rest!!! Gosh, I need it, too!

@emrob Hey, Mandy...thanks so much for that. You are sweet! Love that your dandy made PP:).

March 9th, 2013  
@masosy It is glorious...we get it for such short stretches. It's nearly gone and I miss it. Probably no more til next year. Thanks, friend!!

@psychographer Thanks, lady. Naturally done with the snow!

@soboy5 Thank you, Danny. Didn't you just get snow?! Is that rare for you?

@kbalychev Thanks so much, sweet friend. You are one of the best commenters on here. I've been stinking at it lately. It's been a rough week. Hope to do better soon!

@marie65 You are sweet, Marie. Thanks so much!

@tanja_1211 Aw, thank you, Tanja...you are kind!

@darsphotos Thanks, my friend! Kinda makes you want to head into the foothills for snow, right?;-) It is pretty! Happy weekend. Can't wait to hear your news...praying it's good!
March 9th, 2013  
Love it! Looks like SC that isn't actually SC... which is awesome, I like SC that you have to look twice to check... this made me do that... even though it's not SC... does all that make sense? ahhaha. Cos this reminds me a bit of an awesome one I saw the other day. Fav for you :)
March 9th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy Love your sweet and funny comments, Cassandra. You make perfect sense. Thanks so much for them, for making me smile and the fav!
March 9th, 2013

amazing POV saw on the PP
March 10th, 2013  
@sistawood Aw, thanks so very much for your sweet comments and fav, Lisa!! I wonder when we will hear who won get pushed this week. I think it will be you!:)

@lesip Thanks so much, Leslie! I took a similar shot in the fall along the sidewalk and it didn't have the middle of the road pizzazz.
March 10th, 2013  
@amandalomonaco You are right, we have wanted to go visit the snow but have not been able to. Hoping it snows more as we are now in the 70's for the week with no rain or snow in site. I had my biopsy yesterday morning. I was thrilled to be told by my Dr. that the blood work that I had two weeks ago shows my thyroid functioning perfectly. My Dr doubts I have thyroid cancer and will get results by the end of the week. Just wanted to let you know. Will post soon. Wipe out days as it really hurt to talk and swallow but much better today. Will be back to the park tomorrow to see the ducks and squirrels. Take care my friend.
March 10th, 2013  
@darsphotos Good news about the bloodwork. Hope that more is to come. Thanks for sharing. Still praying!
March 10th, 2013  
love how you can almost feel the movement of the pavement with the great leading yellow line
March 11th, 2013  
@tbats22 Thank you, my friend!:)
March 11th, 2013  
You are on a ROLL!! This is just wonderful - the lines the framing the b&w the 'natural selective colouring' (loved that!). I'll add my fav to get it somewhere good this week!
March 11th, 2013  
I love this!
March 11th, 2013  
@tulipgirl You are very sweet. Thanks so much for all of your great comments!! I had a pretty good week. Grateful when they come as they are RARE:). Snow helps!!

@365diasesperando Thanks so much, Miss Laura! Appreciate the love:)!
March 11th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy Loved that photo. So wish that I had taken THAT one. Wowie!
March 11th, 2013  
@amandal hahah I know, right! Yours is awesome too though, but can you see how yours reminded me of the other one?
March 11th, 2013  
@ozziehoffy Thanks, lady. Yes, I see the similarities. How amazing that all the cars were monochrome!
March 11th, 2013  
@amandal It was very well done. I seriously didn't realise at first look that it was SC. I just had another look and noticed that the reflection of the yellow on the car... is yellow and there are some flowers on one of the cars... just awesomeness.
March 11th, 2013  
Splendid Amanda ... so is this selective coloured or not? Because if it is, I like it in spite of it. ;-)
March 11th, 2013  
@automaticslim It is not...just naturally so. I thought to do it as there is a small blue sign and thought, "Nah, why waste my time." Thanks, Andy!
March 11th, 2013  
@automaticslim P.S. You inspired me to add a new tag: "This is NOT selective color:)"
March 12th, 2013  
wow, love the composition. I love the yellow line against the dreary snowy day.
March 12th, 2013  
I like your tag, same idea as my "not b&w" one. :-)
March 12th, 2013  
Lyn
Bravo to you, my friend!!! Love, love this one.
March 15th, 2013  
Bravo, bravo, bravo... way to go lady Amanda. T20!
March 15th, 2013  
@lfrans Thanks, Liane!!

@automaticslim Yes, that would have been easier!:)

@lyno Thanks so much, Miss Lyn. Great to be up there with you again this week. I've been on a major slump since this shot. Enjoy your weekend!
March 15th, 2013  
@anazad511 Aw, thanks so much, Ana. This was such great news:).

@tryeveryday Thanks so much, my friend!!

@egad Thanks, lady. I like shots that show the token seasons. They tend to be so pretty (fall color, snow, spring flowers...not that I've seen those yet). Appreciate your comments:)!

@rockinrobyn I could get used to this;-). Thanks so much, my friend. I've flat lined since this shot!

@dmdfday Aw, thanks, Diane. Really appreciate your sweet comments and fav, lady!!!

March 16th, 2013  
@noragentian Thanks, my friend:)!
March 16th, 2013  
Congrats Amanda. A great shot. At first I thought the yellow was selective colouring. But on closer inspection I found other colours. Lovely.
March 18th, 2013  
@johnfalconer Thanks, John. Tricky, huh? I actually considered doing sc or some editing to get out the sign, but thought, Nah! Glad I didn't waste my time:)!
March 18th, 2013  
Fav !!
March 21st, 2013  
Wow, I thought it was selective colour until I read your tags. Congrats on Top20! Well deserved. Fav'ing.

@aleksandra This one, I need to enter into a contest. One of my all time faves of mine. My friend also featured it on his photography site and it got all these shares on FB. Thanks so much, my sweet friend. I've missed you. I've been going through a tough season with my project. Still struggling with balance and have backed off a bunch.
