I take your point Barry - an empty road is in some ways a blank canvas - but sometimes a road picture needs a figure or figures to give scale and context. It gives the viewer a 'way in' to the picture. Nubra valley. Nikon F2 As Photomic - 200mm and Tri-X.

To prove my point - and breaking the rules on this thread - but you will forgive me - a picture taken by a close friend of mine. The aftermath of the 2011 tsunami in Japan. A town hit by a 40 meter wave. Polaroid - shot for exposure test before film. Yours - I.

My eyes were immediately focused on the two figures in the top pic.
Truly mesmerizing shot I. and thanks for sharing.

I wonder what the two people are talking about while they are walking on that rough road in the heat of the day........." I told you to fill up at the last petrol station!" or " I could kill for a camel just about now!"
Great picture. :) P.

The Island of Rum - And this is where the path in the previous picture takes you to. As an idyllic a pitch as any I can remember. A much better view across to Skye. The weather was beautiful - my mate - that's him down on the shoreline - was pulling fish out the sea apparently at will for dinner - cooked over an open fire. It doesn't get much better than that for me. I could show some more of this trip if any one is interested. Leica M6 - 35mm - cheers - I.

That's lovely Iain.

As you know Iain, I do like a bit of post-apocalyptic imagery. Excellent.
 
My shipmate chilling in the skiff while we're headed to a location. Kodiak, Alaska.

Kodak disposable waterproof camera with Kodak film.
 
Works do on Saturday, which was actually a blast this year.
Couple of shots I tried on the way home from the bus stop - with varied success. It's a couple of miles trot along the ridge and I didn't switch the head torch on once. These are the best of a bad bunch - I was quite tipsy and it was around midnight.

This is on a relatively short section of sunken way.

This is the best of the bunch shot at 1/3 f/1.9 apparently, facing ENE I would think with the moon off to the right Leeds way. Next time I think I'll take a tripod...
