The road goes ever on and on - a photo on Flickriver

            The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

  J.R.R. Tolkien

I took this picture in Vercors (Alp foot hills), as the sky was clearing out after a rain storm. There was a footpath which went up a little hill, and I liked the story that it was telling, by vanishing on the other side of the hill. I waited for the lights and the clouds to be favorable (I wanted the light to be at the center of the image).

I post-processed the image using the darktable software. I was aiming for a super-natural feeling, something from a Tolkien novel :). I used contrast-enhancing filters close to the path and the horizon. I made the sides of the image a bit darker, and I tuned a bit the colors (making the shadows in the bottom greener and the highlights a bit more yellow).
