Scenic Sunday and Shadow Shot Sunday / Bridle Path on Euclid Avenue





Euclid Avenue in our area is a very beautiful roadway that is about 15 miles long. There are giant Eucalyptus and Pepper trees along its route. The northbound and southbound lanes are separated by a bridle path in the north, while the southern end is carpeted with nice grass for walking. Many people walk or jog, while others enjoy horseback riding. I went out to photograph the bridle path this morning as our early morning fog was clearing.

Such a beautiful path especially with the shadows. I remember seeing Eucalyptus and Pepper trees often when I lived in California.

Beautiful place and wonderfully captured.

The first picture is serene. The second has a quirky, almost surreal Dr. Seuss aspect to the tree shapes.

Nice.

Cheers!

Carolyn, your angle of the photo really drew my eye down the bridle path. I commented on your post above and not sure whether it is saved. Once again, I followed you from my blog thanks for visiting me. I've been through your B&W blog and LOVE it and this one. I'll visit often.
