 Not much time to shoot this weekend, but managed to get out for a short bit and run over to this windy road not too far from my house; Walked up into a field and shot the curve from a distance with a tele to flatten and tighten the feel of the curve. Just a single exposure, because light was flat, and HDR did nothing to enhance the image.

Waited a while for a string of motorcycles to come racing around the bend, but no such luck and the few cars that did come by detracted, rather than added, to the image.

Not expecting a lot from this one, but I took the picture, so in it goes!

Nice shot, but there is a lot going on. Almost too much. I do like the framing and the softness though.

Looks like the road in the "scary" viral video... nice shot.
