That is no dirt for me it is enhanced by natures fall softening the street into a nice inviting way
super shot , simple in composition but very impressive as it seems to be a never ending way up to the sky
super general impression, clear and sharp with perfect genuine contrast and day time adapted lighting
Well done

Great autumn shot, Pat! I love the leading line of the road and the bright orange leaves on the sides and on the road. Exposure and clouds are perfect. Yes, would have been nice to see a bear - but from a farrr distance though, lol!

This is a lovely view with the fluffy clouds and colorful trees. I wouldn't mind this drive one bit :) The colors look great and I like how the leaves line the road too.

    Thank you so much Grace! This road gets pretty bumpy the farther down we go! There is a beautiful lake at the end!

Nice use of leading lines...
Vanishing viewpoint lends a greater depth...
Nice earth tones against an overcast skyline....

Sharply focused.
Subdued illumination.
Good perspective & long depth of field...

Autumn apparently was at its best, but nearing its end when you took the photo. The colors of the trees are beautiful. The road is covered with leaves and the weeds are dry. The photo is perfect focused and exposed. The depth seems infinitive. The perspective is fascinating. I like how the road leads to the varnishing point in the background. I appreciate the realism of colors and light. The photo is excellently framed. The composition is balanced.

Great perspective and great leading lines down the road. Very similar to scenes I normally see here, but this year was unusually short so I missed out. For info., you'll soon be seeing different shots from me which I will explain later. In the meantime, I enjoyed the brief ride down this road.

    Good luck with the remodel. I've been down that road, as well as other major projects in 4 residences. My experience always has been 50% more than planned for timing to complete. Hope you do better.
    Our weather is like yours. first the snow - - earliest and biggest storm - - in November and now rain and dead leaves everywhere. Our trip has been delayed a few weeks so we likely will be home until Xmas. Happy Thanks giving to you and your family.

A beautiful scene. The fall colors are great and I like the look of the fallen leaves under that gray sky. A well composed image of nature at her best.
