    What a completely magnificent photo: mist, clouds, and snow. Is that a road?? It’s spectacular, but I don’t want to drive it. Where is it?

      It is Passo Stelvio in Italy, Meg. Yes, it is a road a narrow one, but we crossed narrower this summer. I like the thrill of serpentine roads. Thank you for your nice comment.

        I, too, love the thrill of serpentine roads…this one is my favourite, sadly I no longer drive the distances thes days, so unlikely to do any more…

          Hi Sue, I was sure you would recognise the road.

            It was a great road to drive in an old sportscar, I have always said I don’t enjoy driving in a straight line, give me some bends!

    Back to yourself and quick off the mark again- I love it, Paula. 🙂 I have lots to do tonight and a very poor Internet connection so I’m glad I caught you before I check out. Fabulous! My kind of road (but I’m never the driver 🙂 ) Sending big hugs. Hope you have a good weekend.

    Wow… What a stunning image, Paula 🙂

    Perfect for the theme…

    I really missed your beautiful images and music for a long time…

    This image reminds me of the narrow roads in the Himalayas…

    Thank you so much for sharing and hope you are doing great 🙂

      Hello Sreejith, I’m glad to see you again. I have been absent for months in the recent past, and then busy, but things are looking better these days. I really look forward to catching up with you. I don’t think I will be going to Himalayas and I consider this a huge compliment. This was taken on my recent holiday in Italy.

        Yes Paula, it’s been a long time 🙂

        Even I had taken a hibernation in between, and now feel great to be back 🙂

        I had taken a trip to the Himalayas recently and seen many a narrow roads like this.

        I have a few friends in Italy and seen many an images from the mountain regions, they looked great.

        I certainly would like to explore this region, but not sure, when???
        🙂

        Have a nice weekend 🙂

      No real connection. I pick scores according to my current inspiration, the one I think would accompany image best. Sometimes I hear music and take a photo afterwards. Inspiration comes from different sources.
