Thematic Photographic #53 - Hittin' the Road
The theme over at Carmi's blog this week is "Road." My contribution below has appeared on my site before, during my drive to Montana and back in July last year. As soon as I saw "Road" as the theme, the image of this photo swam to the fore in my mind. I guess it's a powerful photo to me, and shows that there is still lots of wide-open land in our country.

I've never been in that part of the country, and I have a hard time imagining seeing that far in so many directions. When you are used to a landscape that is always obscured by trees or hills - seeing that is eerie. No wonder they call it Big Sky Country!
That's one straight but humpy road! We just don't get roads that straight for that long around here :)
Now that's not something we get to see here in New England...stunning!

I about fell outta my seat when I saw this before I read what you wrote. I thought- I've BEEN there! hell, I think I lived there, or at least close!
We just dont get roads like that in the UK!
lovely shot.
BRILLIANT!
What a powerful scene...it must have been a near-mystical experience to stand there and take this in in real life.
I'm so glad you shared this for the road theme. Perfectly chosen!
Carmi — Mystical? Nah. Weird? You betcha! To stand atop a hill in the middle of a weekday, to look in both directions along the road and see nothing coming for miles in one direction and, in the other, a few cars still minutes away, and being able to LIE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD to take a photo (several photos, actually!), goes down among the rarest experiences of my life.
And not as quiet as you might imagine... there was an angry bovine on the other side of a fence about 30 yards away mooing incessantly at me.
