Red Rock Parkway and Mount Galwey

One with the road and one without. I am not keen on roads in scenic photos, but perhaps sometimes it works. Comments on the road are welcome. Thanks.

Both are 13-shot panoramas. They were cropped to suit after stitching. The dot to the right of the horsetail cloud is the (waning crescent) moon.

Will posts some bear photos tomorrow. A great day.

Nice shot, Clive. I think in this instance the road is a distraction and without it the cloud becomes a great focal point and provides enough interest itself.

Sans road also provides far better balance with the distant peak being a larger component.

I love the way the road leads right to the cloud. But that is why I never know where to crop!

The road one seems less constricted if that makes sense

I still have trouble remembering that it doesn't cost anything to take thousands of pictures; it just almost seems impossible to be true.
