Snowy Road by skipt07

Snowy Road

Driving in the snow can be an unforgettable experience. You can thoroughly enjoy the beauty as it covers a sleeping earth or you can take hold of the steering wheel in a death grip and fear for your life.
Wonderful POV! I love the blue tones. FAV.

I have done both. It isolates you sometimes too.

Lovely photo! On a toboggan, the speed-out-of-control is fun! In a car...not so much!

I love the blues!! Driving on snow covered back roads is fun. Snow covered highways not so much.

Doesn't look like much traffic on this road so if you do a slidey slide, it would just be fun!

@kwind - Thank you Kim for your wonderful comment and fav!

@joansmor - And I as well! I once hit some ice and spun out hitting guide rails some years ago. It all happened so fast I barely had time to react.

@Weezilou - Thank you very much Louise! You know it. There isn't much scarier than being in a car that you have lost control over.

@pammerritt - Thank you Pam! This road is as back road as you can get. It's not that I mind driving on highways in the winter, I don't care for driving on highways with other drivers who are either driving so slow they create a hazard or they are driving too fast and creating a hazard.

@maggiemae - This is as rural as they get Maggie. I drove from one end to the other then turned around and drove back to look at things from a different perspective. I didn't pass one car either way.

Awesome shot

Gorgeous shot. I love the road leading me to the top of a hill and knowing it will go further. The colors is great as is the composition. FAV

It really does look isolated - beautiful shot.
February 1st, 2015  
Beautiful! If I was on a road like that, with no other cars, I could enjoy the view! :-)

Amazing picture. Nice colours, cool contrasts. But I like also your quote, it so so true.
February 1st, 2015  
@skipt07 Oh yeah, do it once and the next time you slow down.
February 1st, 2015  
I'd like to see round the corner over the brow of the hill. I think a good photo makes one inquisitive!

Very nice capture with great leading lines.

Lovely simplicity and colours

It's much better if you're the only one on the road and no one comes along that forces you to pull over closer to the side and that snow that wants to drag you off into the ditch! Viewed on black, this image is extra amazing.

Excellent pov and composition

Wonderful shot allowing both the beauty and the fear to emerge. Fav.

Thank you dear friends for all your marvelous comments and favs! I especially like your comments as to how the photo brought back memories of you driving on snow covered roads!
The one thing I wish is that the main tree was a loner. I have been working in PhotoShop to make it an only tree with less distraction.
