I remember when i was 10 i went up to Robin Hood Bay with my Grandma, it's where she used to go as a child
This shot captures everything that's good about the place, and the high contrast makes the picture really memorable.

I also like how you've kept the horizon in the middle, it makes the road and the sky seem to stretch forever, seriously well done.

Default Great shot!

Great shot! Good cloud contrast. You've inspired me to find a road like that. However, I would have waited until an old car, or a bicyclist had come along, moving into the photo. To demonstrate what a long ride he has ahead...synonymous with life. My two cents... Keep up the great work.

That's simply stunning James. A lot of people say that perfect symmetry can be boring, in this case, it works perfectly to frame and allow for continuity of the shot.

Thank you for sharing!
Cheers

Was just about to say that but figured i'd read through all the comments first, you beat me to it! awesome shot mate love the symmetry and inspired "highway adventure" feel.

Hi James

Lovely shot with brilliant colors and tone. The DOF is very impresive. Very well done
