I took this photo on a recent bus tour of Ireland. …And I thought that the appearance of the motorcyclists on a long and winding road was a reminder of how us humans have tried to bend nature to meet our needs. I was very lucky to get this image??”the bikers just happened to pass by as our group were about to re-board the bus…Timing is everything!

Oh for the open road. I can imagine the pleasure they must have in riding those beautiful and mainly quiet roads. I think you hit the shutter just right. I wish I was with them. Posted: 07/12/2025 09:34:14
This is a beautiful landscape photo. The winding road draws the eye in, it follows the rule of thirds well. I like the layers of foreground, midground, and background. The lighting is soft and diffuse. The colors look great together. Well done! Posted: 07/13/2025 22:53:40
Great image with or without the bikers. The leading line of the road is placed just right.The skid marks hint at other days on this road. Posted: 07/14/2025 14:06:54
Thanks for the very kind comments, much appreciated. It is a beautiful part of the Emerald Isle & I was fortunate to be there on a lovely day. It really was a totally unplanned shot...the bus stopped we jumped out for a 10 minute rest & when I saw the curve in the road I know I had to capture the moment.The bikers were icing on the cake!
