My eyes were immediately focused on the two figures in the top pic.View attachment 31354
I take your point Barry - an empty road is in some ways a blank canvas - but sometimes a road picture needs a figure or figures to give scale and context. It gives the viewer a 'way in' to the picture. Nubra valley. Nikon F2 As Photomic - 200mm and Tri-X.

To prove my point - and breaking the rules on this thread - but you will forgive me - a picture taken by a close friend of mine. The aftermath of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. A town hit by a 40 meter wave. Polaroid - shot for exposure test before film. Yours - I.

I wonder what the two people are talking about while they are walking on that rough road in the heat of the day........." I told you to fill up at the last petrol station!" or " I could kill for a camel just about now!"View attachment 31354

The Island of Rum - And this is where the path in the previous picture takes you to. As an idyllic a pitch as any I can remember. A much better view across to Skye. The weather was beautiful - my mate - that's him down on the shoreline - was pulling fish out the sea apparently at will for dinner - cooked over an open fire. It doesn't get much better than that for me. I could show some more of this trip if any one is interested. Leica M6 - 35mm - cheers - I.

As you know Iain, I do like a bit of post-apocalyptic imagery. Excellent.View attachment 31354

I find that first path oddly enticing. Even in the dark.More of a can you see what I was trying to do post than a hey check out my skills.
What I really needed was to put the torch further down the path as the bushes form an arch, didn't think of that till I got home though. Which seeing as that was sort of my plan for that bit of the walk home let's you know how good the evening was.I find that first path oddly enticing. Even in the dark.
This is me today climbing up a snow gully on Beinn Narnain, the mountain and it's neighbors are known as the Arrochar Alps (Scotland)
