This weeks topic: Old Roads


The theme for this Weekly Challenge is Old Roads. This road is the feature of the shot... It can be gravel, dirt, paved, in the city, in the country, whatever, but the idea is there is something about the shot that imparts a feeling that this is an Old Road... It can be the scene itself, the composition, some post processing such as B&W, or other elements in the image that impart the mood... Whatever, be creative, but make that road feel Old...

Good Luck everyone!!! I can't wait to see what you all come up with

All entries to be posted by Midnight EST Sunday March 8th.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

The utter lack of comments makes me wonder if my chosen theme is unpopular.... or just sucks....

The beautiful main street of this wine village got its current name less than 200 years ago, but the street is much older, many of the houses are about 500 years old, and the village itself dates back to roman times.

One of life's many forks in the road or a road to nowhere ....

Here is a real 'oldie' for you. Well worn and worn well!

This is Tram road outside of Tallahassee. The old tram has a state highway paved over it. This was taken through the windshield at 55mph during a shower in the rainy season.

I haven't played in a while so I'll give it a shot.

Not necessarily an old road but I kind of made it look that way.

after long time of inactivity I decided I'll play this one.
It was shot in Wimbledon common in London.

This is the Arch of Philip V located at the foot of the Puente Viejo (built in 1616) which spans the Rio Tajo in Ronda, Spain. The road makes a switchback on the left hand side, with a 30 percent incline (I should have taken a picture of the scuffs on the stone walls).
