Photo Hunt - Road

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is road. I don't have many good road photos so here is a picture of Comeenatrush waterfall and a small section of road that leads towards it

Very interesting picture. It's one of those about which you can certainly say ''every picture tells a story".

What a pity if they were building a road there. Sacrilege to ruin such beautiful country.

Have a great weekend!

I really like this waterfall and the fact that you can see it for such a long stretch.

How many diggers did you see on your holiday? A very familiar sight here in Donegal. We even had three working together on the wee site just across our road here.
Going to some lengths to make the falls accessable.

Nice shot. Looks like man destroying nature again.

Quite a lot Aileni! The road was already there or rather a track, The track petered out at some ffarms and you have to go through fields to get to it. Still it is a beautiful sight with a lough beneath it

Road under repair or construction by the looks of things. That is a pretty wild place. Have a good weekend Jams.

It's so beautiful!

Maddy said...

Great shot indeed. I'm hunting for mine right now! Well not literally right now but you know what I mean.

I believe we're allowed a little latitude, so I might be making a big leap.
Cheers

If there is a road up that mountain, that is one road I would not take! haha....

Everyday Healy said...

All I see is a big green mountain which I will surely be shivering if I am standing on top of it. Hahaha......

A road that will be quite an adventure travelling up to the mountains! :)

Wonderful scenery Jams - absolutely magnificent!

CRIZ LAI said...

I can imagine how long they will take to build a road up there. It's not easy as it looks.

Waterfall, and the road leading to it. Nature is still lovely no matter what..

Wow! Very impressive!

tanabata said...

That's a lovely waterfall and view in general. The fact that the road and the truck is so small just adds to the sense of grandeur of the mountain. Great shot!
