wow, this last foto with road meander is just, well, perfect

the way this road disappear/reappear not once but twice through down gradient is amazing ...

empty, no people, freedom, would love to walk along here escape society jungle

 

[KyleS1]

Which camera/lens did you use for shot 3 (1 ).

Also your photos are a little bit like where's wally, with trying to find your watermark.

The road leads to a dead end within The Valley of Fire.

I used a Nikon D700 and Nikon 14-24 for that shot.
The building on the right is a health clinic for the Brain.
