Photograph info: This photograph was taken last Thursday afternoon. We've had a stretch of unseasonably cold weather the last week but the brisk air feels pretty good, I think. It was 28 degrees and very windy when I took this shot, with snow flurries falling a few miles behind me.

This is a location I've photographed innumerable times over the years but the continually varying colors of the sky, the clouds, the fields and the light always draw me in.

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lens at 24mm, ISO 200, f/11, 1/125s. Basic curves adjustments.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

Classic Connally!!! Flat out plane beautiful, and another of them "restoreth my soul" kind'a shots. We just got two days of gray skies, frozen rain and fog, so this is just plain ol' Heaven....or Heavenly Planes or.......well, you get the picture......actually I get the picture.....and it blows the Idaho fog away!

Thanks again, Kathleen, for sharing the things that draw you in. Perhaps much fog is thereby dispersed.

The light is golden and beautiful. The sky is wintry and wonderful. The road is so straight and long and leads the eye on a wonderful journey through the frame.

The sun is sliding low in the west
Long shadows show the day will soon be at rest.
Before us lies the road we can travel
Carrying us toward our next adventure, our future to unravel.
So through fields that have surrendered their harvest KC goes
Sending us glimpses of Durham Township, the area she best knows.

Very well done, great sky and warm light. Great job on framing!
We have similar interests, I have many similar shots of county roads here in Licking County OH.

this is a great shot, i love it :)

Would love to drive straight down that road, windows open and enjoying the moment.

WOOOO HOOOOOOO Now I know what picture perfect means! On this big screen I am right out there walking on that country road. All you oldies sing along with me and John Denver:
Country road take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia. Mountain Momma take me home.
Or maybe it was my ol'Kentucky Home

Take That JPH!

It's a fine time to pick on me, Lucille...let the sing along continue with an excerpt from James Taylor...

Take to the highway wont you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same
Mama dont understand it
She wants to know where Ive been
Id have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it
On a country road

Yeeee Haaaa - country road!

The Golden light!

Awesome color. Love the perspective from the road and clouds. Can't beat that afternoon light. My fav.

Jon, Lucille, simmer down, We are caught somewhere between Willie Nelson and Highway to Heaven--and that's just how it looks From the Back of a Buick Six.

Someone gave my blog the Butterfly Award and I have passed it on to you because I love your blog. June

I love this picture. I love the way everything stretches into the horizon.

Of course, I love most of your pictures. I'm so glad StumbleUpon brought me here a few years ago.

David and JPH: We are not exactly country bumpkins
out here.Bob Dylan crossed over this road a
couple times a bit up the way to play at Lehigh U.
Someday he is going to stop right here on this
beautiful road on this very spot and write a song
for us because it reminds him so much of Hibbing.

Splendid! The road home for Thanksgiving. Hope yours is wonderful.

Lucille: Kathleen's long black road has got to be better than being stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again, or even a rainy Easter, lost in Juarez. And since beginning to visit Durham, I have learned that Durham Township and Bucks County are totally not Bumpkinville. (I was soooo shocked!) (They do however, got cows and pumpkins .......and crop circles too, except those are square.....and "Dear Jon" letters start out, "Jon Deere......")

Thanks to that Connally woman, I see things I would have missed everyday, making today just one more Happy Thanksgiving day of hundreds, with an extra helping of Kathleen's 28 degree visual desert that does not crowd the turkey dinner a bit.......so may Kathleen and her Websters stay forever young! (Sorry, had to get in one more!)

This is classic Kathleen Connally! Gorgeous light, composition, colors. Perfection.
Thanks, also, for posting your images in two sizes. I love seeing them large.

Gatah! We know you ponder these beautiful pictures. We missed you and those "Ol'Kentucky Home So Far Away" biscuits at the Thanksgiving table yesterday.
(sob), (sniff).

Wonderful photo, like the colours and this atmosphere.

Awesome image. Great composition, lighting and color.

Love the colors and quality of light. A road that leads to nowhere?!?!?

beautiful shot.

Masterful. Period.

Beautiful - these wide open spaces always draw me in! The colours and the warm tones from the sun are excellent! Great work, as always Kathleen.

A beautiful classic with great colors and light. Nice view!

Great job, very well done, wonderful sky and warm light.

This is just wonderful! Great work!

Wonderful perspective in this image.

great landscape!

WOW, you are amazing at taking photos... they are all gorgeous.. i love it when i see you posted something new... they are all wonderful!

Is this that never ending road of exploration?? :-)

We gather on this day with friends and loved ones to enjoy the recipes handed down from generation to generation. We can actually taste the turkey, cranberry, sweet potatoes and pie in our minds. We willingly eat and drink a little more than we should, knowing that this is a special day.

So, as we take our places at the table in anticipation of a glorious feast, let's bow our heads and raise our glasses in thanks to the providers of this harvest, to the hands that prepared it and to those who gave and those who continue to give of themselves that we may celebrate this day in peace and freedom.
