Beautiful images, Alan. The Salmon Creek image is very well composed—perfect point of view. The Harris Beach image is my favorite—a memorable landscape and image.

Dan, I really like this series of images you’ve shared, especially the second and third. It’s difficult to choose a favorite from these, both are perfect images for this Task.

Jeffrey, your images are well composed—each is a great capture. The B&W image is perhaps my favorite although the others are beautiful, I love its stark contrast. The “vanishing” road in the Iceland image is a gorgeous landscape—love its composition!

Nice task, John. I have been busier than a mustard paddle at a Lion's picnic. Sorry I am so late on this one. I don't usually take images of roads, so this is my only contribution.

This is State Route 42 in Door County, WI

I guess roads are the obvious choice...

Doug, I love this curvy vanishing point—as it winds through this beautiful autumn scene. Great capture!

Kyle, an exceptional image with the snowy road leading to the majestic peak beyond—beautiful image.

Doug, I had never heard this phrase before, "busier than a mustard paddle at a Lion's picnic"––very funny!
