Dry and Dusty Roads (The Paths We Travel)

I don't know if it's because I have a major case of wanderlust, but I find a lot of aesthetic appeal in the open road.

Anyways, Here's a collection of photos of the open road and or other pathways I've taken whilst traveling around the USA.

These first few were taken in Arizona. I went up into the mountains to catch the little bit of fall colors Arizona gets in October.

Generally it's just brutally hot until it's not for a little while in Arizona, but up in the mountains they actually have forests, streams and seasons

^{I decided to try putting this in monochrome to see if I could change the focus more onto the road away from the trees. I wonder how it turned out?}

Out hiking in the desert. Also Arizona. The sign for the trail is pretty worn -- Guess that means I don't have to follow the trail, Huh?

These next couple are taken in California. They're not technically roadways, but they're probably some of the more scenic pics in this selection...

^{lens flare city! Is that a ufo? 🤣}

The stream with stepping stones is a classic, no? Gotta go out with the classic.

These were taken in a botanical garden in San Diego, if memory serves. Might have been the japanese garden, but I am not entirely sure of that.

It's kind of been my thing to hit up the botanical gardens everywhere I go. My favorite was in Kyoto: It was 200円 to get in ($2) and I literally spent all day walking around there taking pictures and stuff (though I think I lost most of those pictures, sadly).

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the collection.

I'll catch ya next time 😃
