Thinking of long and winding roads I have travelled, both literally and metaphorically…But for this post, just the real roads travelled.
So here are just a few roads I have enjoyed driving on, or being driven on, or walked on.
A winding mountain road in the Vercors, France….some hairpin bends and steep drops:
A weary worker returns from the field in Transylvania,looks like he has a long road ahead:
Finishing work, Transylvania
A horse and cart on a twisty, remote road in rural Transylvania:

Wonderful captures in places I haven’t been! Love the ancient road in Kos because it makes me wonder how it could ever be built with such limited resources as workers had back then. Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks, Rusha!
A lovely rich variety of routes here. Lovely.
Thanks, Margaret…and a rich variety of memories, too….
Those scenes from Romania could be 120 years old. Fascinating. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
I took those in 2006, the year before Romania entered the EU….after reading in the paper that it was like going back 200 years.Itreallywas
OMG Sue – that last image of Stelvia, I don’t think I could do it!!! How in heavens name did you ever DRIVE it?!?!? And how did you get the photo?? Excellent choices and as always better late than never!
Haha! I’m a petrolhead, and an adrenaline junkie! Or was, in my fitter days, driving was a passion, I did some rally driving…. The image was taken by someone I knew
OMG, you see, we never really know about people do we?! Adrenaline junkie – who knew?!?!?!
You know now! Except, sadly, those days are over now with my health issues 😕
Ah but fabulous memories to draw from Sue!
Oh, absolutely!
Wonderful memories, Sue 🙂 🙂
Most certainly, Jo!
Here’s to when we can start travelling again
Yes, indeed….
I love where you’ve been! Romania, Kos — you’ve been around. Great! Here’s a fun game. How many countries have you visited? (Not an airport layover.)
Well, for a start Kos, and the other Greek islands ony count as one country, Greece…so I haven’t been to that many,…quick count tells me 22
That’s a lot! Have you been to the States?
No, I haven’t!
It is huge and diverse. Maybe one day.
I know, and there are places I would like to see….
Memories, treasures – and you in that red car! A smart and dangerous woman…
Me, dangerous?? 😳
