A very straight urban road that leads directly over an ancient bridge.

A nice image Walt, but your EXIF says you took it in 2063; so time travel really is possible?

Obviously you haven't seen my car

. I had not set the date in that camera body. It's one of those things I still have trouble wrapping my head around. Even when I think of it I don't change the camera clock to local time when traveling

Another view from above down to the streets of Prague. Conspicuous UWA distortion, which also makes this look much higher than it actually was.

Wow, that is a well-done image of an impressive sight. I'm wondering if what appears to be an occasional waterfall leading into the bottom left corner of the image was created by the road -- the sloping section nearest the top. Easy to imagine things other than water following that path, too.

I was there. Why didn't come over & say "Hello?" Wouldn't it be fun to watch that road being navigated by someone with a Winnebago?

Yes, I'm sure that slope was slickened by water runoff from thunderstorms exacerbated by the road cut along the cliffside there, also picking up a lot of rubble and cascading it over the sides

I was there over Thanksgiving week exploring both the Canyonlands and Arches NP. That road would certainly make for a great Winnebago slalom course as long as I wouldn't have to participate. Just taking a 4WD truck around those switchbacks was harrowing enough! And, if you encounter a vehicle coming the opposite direction, the one going downhill must back up to a passable section of the road. Fortunately, that did not happen...

Just FYI. We were there in September. 2016, Not many places along the top where you can get a decent amount of that road into view, so you were just about standing in my footprints.
