a gorgeous place
stunning landscape
Amazing capture Tara. An instant favorite. God Bless.
Wow - can't imagine why it's called 'Picture Grove'.... :-P What a fantastic shot, Tara, and what a fantastic landscape... I wanna take that road...
fro me, living in a flat country (netherlands), it looks unrealistic, but fascinating and beautiful !
Very cool shot Looks fascinating
simply stunning
Thanks for the link--enlightening~~~ Great shot!
I like the shot. Is that a golf course on the right side of the picture?
Nicely composed. My eye zips right down the road and my mind's eye fills my imagination as we go around the first bend.
Fantastic.
Oooh, I love this and I love a good fossil collection too. Of course, when I read the title, I thought I'd scroll down and see a gorge with all sorts of wonderful, framed pictures hanging on the walls. Sometimes, I wonder about me. I love this shot, the POV is perfect!
Following the end of the road and wondering, if it is going through a tunnel, after that? majestic surrounds! - almost scary and claustrophobic to me, that's why I am living on top of hill ;) BB
Wonderful capture of this very beautiful landscape!!
This looks like a most wonderful place to have a nice drive. :)))) Amazing beauty my friend. :))))) Most excellent capture. :))))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Wow, a little slice into history, eh? Beautiful shot, the road looks so tiny disappearing to the crevasse!
Excellent image
WOW the images I have missed in the break I took as decided too far behind comments to catch up just letting you know I saw each and everyone wonderful captures really smiles as a thought is said warm hugs, Linda Kaye
Spectacular landscape and a superb capture. The dark mass in the center looks like a great wound in a gentle hillside.
How dark the rocks are! The colours and shapes are fascinating.
Looks a great place.
When I read the e-bot I had a brief vision of a huge table with folk stuffing their faces with drawings and paintings. My mind doesn't improve with age. Still, this is amazing and REAL which is so much more exciting!
impressive landscape !! thx for info link too !
A lovely shot and it looks to be a great place to explore.
