Title: The Road Ahead
Post by: knightfan26917 on May 02, 2010, 12:15:10 AM
Whether the road is "less traveled" or "heavily traveled", looking ahead is fun ... most of the time.  These are a few "road shots" I've taken; since I'm sharing different ones with different groups/boards, I may add more later....

Anyone else have shots of "the road ahead"?

Here are 2 of mine. One is near Dingle at the Dingle peninsula, Ireland. The second is a road just of the Ring of Kerry, near Ladies View in Co. Kerry, Ireland.

During my last year´s holiday trip through northern Italy suddenly the road was crammed with many of those loud red strange vehicles...

That's cool, guido.

Just goes to show how some areas/places have "twins" of sorts....very interesting, indeed.

I´ve made a tour round the Alps (D/CZ/A/I/CH/F/B/D) two weeks ago with my latest ride.

The weather was bad most of the time but one of the highlights was definitly the "Großglockner-Hochalpenstraße". More than 40 twisting kilometers through the alps on (partly very old) marvellous curvy roads with extreme alpine sights, a (heavily shrinking) glacier, serpentines and tons of driving pleasure.

I´ve purchased the Saab with virgin-like 273.000km on the clock just some days before my trip and it did its job.

The whole Alpine region is sheer driving pleasure...
