The Road Home

Ok, it takes several miles and many twists and turns, but I live at the end of that road, right at the bottom of the humpy hill on the horizon. I can see Slieve Gullion when I take Fudge for a walk so I guess our house is a pixel on the horizon.
This was taken through the windscreen as my husband was driving as I felt there had been enough photo stops on that particular trip.

Breathtaking view, but would I want to drive that in the winter??

Your road goes through some very pretty country.

I love that you can see home so far off in the distance...I am so encased in tall timber that I never see the sun on the rise or moon either...

A lovely Irish scene...

Super composition Mairead - the road is a lovely hook for the eyes as we travel down the road chez toi :)

The roads leading to my home aren't anywhere near as beautiful. Wonderful scenery! V

Very cool image and wonderful view towards your corner of the landscape.

:) I understand about asking the husband to stop for photos. I'm blessed that mine is fairly patient about my obsession with taking pictures of every scene along the way. But, there comes a time when it is better to take the photo from the car rather than stop the progress again. I love the rolling hills and autumn colors here. Great perspective.

What beautiful countryside you live in! This is a lovely golden shot. V

lovely shot on the fly...the burnished hills above the green meadows are fabulous...whatever the vagaries of weather or economy, where you live is a land to be treasured...V
Guest 09-Nov-2011 02:38
It looks like an inviting road! It draws me right into the scene!
John King09-Nov-2011 01:30
The road makes a great leading line through this lovely image with all of its layers and tones. V.

Nice rambling road.
Sheila09-Nov-2011 00:56
I have the Beatles singing The Long and Winding Road in my head.
That is really a pleasant drive, gorgeous scenery.

What a beautiful place that you live in!
Walter Otto Koenig08-Nov-2011 23:53
I like the traffic on your way home. You certainly live in a beautiful place.
Ulla Inkeri Huhta08-Nov-2011 22:36
Beautiful road home. But I wouldn´t like it with ice and snow... And I guess snowploughs are few and far between over there.
Guest 08-Nov-2011 22:18
A beautiful road home Mairead!!! IReally love your place!!!
Karen Stuebing08-Nov-2011 22:17
I have found that windshields make nice polarizers. This is a fabulous scenic photo with the road winding through that beautiful countryside. V.
Colin Storey08-Nov-2011 22:11

What a beautiful peaceful looking place..wonderful.
Brian Samuel08-Nov-2011 20:34
The road looks very narrow and I don't see any passing places in that stretch. Must be a good reason to put his foot down :0)
Guest 08-Nov-2011 20:23
must be fun to drive on this road at night
Máire Uí Mhaicín08-Nov-2011 20:10
A lovely perspective and breadth of view here.
Alan K08-Nov-2011 20:03
Ah, DRIVING. That explains it. I was thinking "I know Fudge likes walks, but that might be taking it too far!" Autumn seems to be progressing rapidly over there, with the trees which have already dumped their bundles on the left and the greens starting to turn to browns.
