A dirt road near the Taylor Park Reservoir (Crested Butte, CO area).
The title I gave to this photo made me think of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". What a book. On the surface it appears bleak and hopeless, but it's actually a story of incredible hope. I see that a movie is being made of it. Although the cast looks impressive, I'm cynical about them actually doing this story any justice.

I'm not familiar with McCarthy's book, but the story line sounds interesting. Your road scene is very mysterious. I think the monochrome image really gives it an eerie feel, one that color would not provide. I like how you gave more balance to the sky than to the land...very dramatic clouds.
Glorious clouds. Wow!
I love those pictures who just drags you into them and make you wonder what`s further inside. The road gives me that feeling. Wonderful;-)
A great sky and feeling of space.
I'm reading the book at the moment and am a bit nonplussed by McCarthy's style. I would think their road is so much bleeker than this one, it's a wonderful photo.
Wonderful open space .. nicely done
This is a excellent shot and I bet it looks nice in blue-
I've not heard of the book, but the cast looks promising. You'd let us know if the movie was true to the book okay.
What a lovely sky on a deserted road.
I've read a few of McCarthy's novels and they are really good, but they can take an emotional toll.
I like the picture of the road and especially those clouds. Gorgeous.
Great shot. I really like the clouds and light.
Love the light in the sky! Awesome shot!
Thanks everyone.
Kilauea Poetry - that's an excellent suggestion. I bet your right...
