This is a really lovely photo. I’ve spent a lot of time out in that region, and it always has a beautiful surprise around the next bend!
Hi Mike, I’m so glad you know this area and it’s so true, each area offers something beautiful. Thanks very much. 🙂
What a gorgeous monochrome, Laurie!
Thanks so much, Dina! 🙂 This is a special area.
Enchanting – or should that be enchanted?
Both work for me, Carol. I’m so glad you are and it is. 🙂 Thanks very much and hope all is well.
🙂 and all good here thanks.
WOW just gorgeous….feels so charming like the entrance into an old movie to a place back in time when life was much simpler…peaceful!!
Thanks, April. This is such a beautiful part of Napa. I love your thought of an old movie…yes, simpler times!
Amazing work. I like the composition very much with with big trees on both sides.
Thank you, Rabirius. I thought the framing was really nice and I love winter trees so it came together nicely. Glad you enjoyed this one. 🙂
the branching of these trees is sublime and gives a side a little dark or strange to your image, as if one came out of a normal world to enter a fantasy world or … inversely, with this path
Hi Yoshimi, A few comments have been on this theme and I can definitely see that perspective now. This can go from peaceful to foreboding…I’m happy it’s sparking the imagination. Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts. 🙂
Very nice moment indeed! Those squiggly branches – I love them. Everything is beautifully lined up and framed here, yes, it certainly is a peaceful image.
Thank you so much, Lynn. This is a great memory of a fruitful day of photography. Happy you enjoyed this one.
Yes! 🙂
so beautiful photo! You’re very clever.
I’m passionate about Photography, above all black & white photo.
Thanks so much, Novecentomila. I share your love of black and white photography. Happy you enjoyed this image and I appreciate your visit here. 🙂
Beautifully tranquil, Jane, and the tree left of the track in particular appears to be flexing/waggling its fingers! A 🙂
Thank you, Adrian. I agree, these trees look like figures to me, too. You never know when they might grab you. 🙂 Happy you enjoyed this one. 🙂
Also I’m a great fan of Lord of the Rings, so anything that even faintly says “Ent” gets my whole attention! A 🙂

It almost looks like a painting and a great inspiration for a spooky story.
You’re right, this one could go either way…a quiet country road or being chased on a quiet country road…😳Glad it inspired some stories in you. Thanks very much, as always.
Beautiful and crisp.
Thank you, Amy. I thought it worked well in black and white. Glad you like it.
Reminds me of an image from The Wizard of Oz…meant to be a compliment.
Hi Michael, Oh it’s a great compliment, thank you. In answering a few comments, I was reminded of the talking apple trees in The Wizard of Oz. 😄
Funny moment to be sure. As always, great art.
🤗
I am always amazed that half way across the country or anywhere in the world, we can converse almost instantly…best be careful of what one thinks when they start typing!
It’s amazing, isn’t it? The spontaneity is wonderful but I agree, a thoughtful response is always the best, and yours are. 😃
Beautiful! My favourite medium is B&W, which is what we always called this back in the film days.
Lovely!
Thanks very much, Saania. Appreciate your visit.
My pleasure, nice to meet you! 🧚🏻♀️
Love That Dreamy Frame and Look 👍
Thanks, Herbert. Those Oaks were calling. Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Magical
Regards Thom
Hi Thom, This is a special spot– thanks very much.
A great photographic works! It is definitely peaceful but I think this is just me. I felt too peaceful (a little bit scary) 🙂
Hi YC, Thank you very much. There is a sense of aloneness in this image that can make you feel vulnerable, I think. The most satisfying thing for me is that it evokes emotions in you. Much appreciated! 🙂
What a photograph! Enticing, but with a slight sense of the sinister…
Thanks for this one!
Thanks, Adam. Hmm, I see how this could be a scene out of a mystery movie. Glad you like it!
Gorgeous!
Thanks so much, M.B. 🙂
Those trees! Wish I had them in my recent barn shot. Wonderful country road image and not the first thing that comes to mind when I read “Napa”. 🙂
Thank you, Steve. California Oaks are so photogenic. Agree, there are some gorgeous rural areas in the wine country apart from the vineyards, although they are always close by. 🙂
Outstanding shot, Jane!
Thanks so much, Ken. 🙂
You found the perfect spot leading you nicely on and on through the expert framing.
Hi Paula, This road is a peaceful retreat and the winter oaks are magnificent. I’m so glad you enjoyed it- thanks very much.
Right there with Eliza, Jane! Love this! There is so much to look at in this image. It’s tantalizing and fascinating! Gorgeous composition! Those crooked tree limbs beckon the traveler and those far-off rolling hills just have the feet yearning to to see what’s next. Well done!!
What a fabulous description, AmyRose. It is so satisfying when an image conjures a story. Thank you very much! 🌹
Love! Those trees are magnificent and frame the road beautifully. Lovely shot, Jane!
Thank you, Eliza. This is such a peaceful area of Napa. I’m so glad you like it. 🙂
That’s lovely. I do like the structure of winter trees.
Thank you, Jude. I am infatuated with them, too. And California Oaks top the list. Glad you enjoyed this image. 🙂
Did I ever mention that I love your monochrome work? Just in case I didn’t, I love your monochrome work.
Ha, Michael, that made my day. Thank you so much! 😄
Beautiful, Laurie! Nice work!
Thank you, Cintia. Much appreciated!
Makes me want to walk down that road.
That’s a wonderful compliment, Sharon. Thank you so much. ☺️
