As you scroll past some of these images, you will wish you could stop your life and get onto that road.  Others you will be grateful if you never have to get any closer than your computer.  Some you will simply marvel at human engineers.  And as always, for some we must thank the artistry of the photographer.

When I know where the image is located, I label it.  If you recognize anything unlabeled, please share the location in the comments.

  1. “There’s roads and there’s roads and they call can’t you hear it
    Roads of the earth, and roads of the spirit,
    and the best roads of all are the ones that aren’t certain,
    On one of those is where you’ll find me when they drop the big curtain…”

    -Bruce Cockburn lyrics

    Thanks for sharing the beauty, Dusky.

  2. I have always been a daily appreciater of Nature’s wonders — thank you so much for showing me some that I never knew existed. I am truly in awe!

  3. The runway as a bridge looks like Dallas-Ft.Worth airport (John Wayne?) to me. I remember flying in there. Very bad cross winds make it difficult to land there. But you taxi over the highway on the way to the terminal.

    Beautiful pictures…

  4. Thanks CK. I tried googling Moki Dugway images and looking for that photo. The terrain looks the same, but no one managed to get that perspective of twists and turns. Everyone seemed to be taking their pics from a different place. So I’m not sure what to think. Thanks for sharing on being a detective to figure out locations.
