Imagine yourself on any of these roads and paths and you’re guaranteed to feel good–whether it’s because you imagine stepping into the peace and beauty, or because you’re grateful you’re just looking at a picture and not actually traversing the image you’re seeing.
It’s a really tough choice, but if you want to know my favorite, you have to make it all the way through to the last one.

hi Dusky, once again you have created a magic collation of ‘roads’. I’ll send it on to an old acquaintance who still works in the Civil Engineering at one of our universities here in South Australia.
I hope you can use the snippets I send you.

john
Another beautiful collection of photos…..Thanks!
Once again your pictures are outstanding. Thanks for doing this. It’s amazing to me how many ‘likes’ we have in common. During my travels I would photograph numerous roads, wild staircases, and the like. This winter I will go through my files and cull these pics and send them to you. I recall shrine staircases in Japan, quaint roads and staircases in Israel, roads in Jordan, Egypt, Greece and Japan. How about the 3,000 steps up the biblical Mount Sinai, or the worn stone steps up to the room of the Last Supper in Jerusalem. They’re concave from thousands of visitors.
Excellent !! Thank You
Hi Dusky,
Charming, charming, and more charming! Thank you so much.

Hello Dusky…as always you have brought a lot of sunshine and smiles to me and the others . I have at least 25 people I forward your gift to others. Way too great to hoard these wonderful e-mails to myself

Great collection. Thanks

QUÉ LES PUEDO DECIR…GRACIAS..DE TODO CORAZÓN POR LAS HERMOSAS FOTOS QUE NOS ENVÍAN…desgraciadamente no tengo otras palabras para expresar mi admiración.
DESDE CHIGUAYANTE, CHILE. UN ABRAZO,
Verónica.
Words cannot describe how awesome these photos are. Fantastic job of putting them together and sharing with us !
Thanks for the correction and sorry I had it wrong.
These images are by many different people, and mostly I don’t know who took the pictures. When I do, I give credit but I regret I know so few.
Pierre,
I’m so happy to have contributed to the celebration of your 80th.
Sometimes as with these photographs I am amazed at the Human Spirit and the places we as humans decide we need to build actual paved roads as access to a places we would otherwise not be able to access as we expect to be able to in today’s society. AMAZED
Fantastic fotos, thank you very much
I love, love, love, love, love, love – did I mention LOVE – your site!
The photography is inspirational, delightful, poignant, (where’s that Thesaurus of mine?) … beautiful, sweet, funny, FANTASTIC!
Thank you!
Great Collection of the photos, I’m in love with your photography.
