Lonesome Highway ~ November 12 [15]

Somewhere in Eastern South Dakota

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
~ Robert Frost (From the poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening")

I felt much like Robert Frost this evening, having finally found home some 500+ miles later...

I agree with Nial (apart from the film as I'm not familar with it). GMV

...and be sure to always take your camera along with you! This is great, you have captured a universal feeling here. GMV

Hope you were able to stay awake. Looks like a long road ahead. Love the poem.

Majesterial mood here. The gradations in tones created my the frame of the windshield, the anti-sun tint and the colour of the sky are an abstract in their own right, creating a sense of calm. This is countered by the vanishing point perspective with the rush of motion blur. One of the better photos on the popular galleries for a while. It reminds me of a still from the movie Paris Texas. Voted.

I've tried shooting something like this several times. I have so far failed to accomplish what you have done so well. Well done.

I can imagine the long 500 miles in the flat and straight roads! Nice intense colors.

Excellent, nice moody shot, it really brings out the lonelyness of a late night drive.

Michael Shpuntov		14-Nov-2006 03:45
THis is really excellent Greg. Most of all I like the tones of sky and inclusion of the car elements.

Looks like you were driving into a storm. Pretty deserted area. Glad you made it home ok. I'd hate to break down out there in the middle of nowhere.
