A very beautiful and evocative photo - my first reaction was "poetic", and it reminds me of this famous line by Carl Sandburg:
"Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
Great image Warren, the sepia adds to the mood imo.

Thanks guys :)
Steve, I think it was Robert Frost who wrote those lines in a poem called "The Road Not Taken". The only reason I know is because I was looking up Carl Sandburg poems to find the complete version, and all references pointed to Robert Frost :) And I really appreciate your mentioning it because I think it goes very well with this picture.

Here is "The Road Not Taken", by Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Nice use of the fog with the sepia. Seems to be one of your signature great shots.

Wow the trees in the fog are looking back at us as if they are waiting for us to follow... Nicely sprinkled leaves for us to feel welcomed. One way or the other, it's a journey we cannot regret. Such a beautiful image.
