I want to go to there.
It was a rather pleasant surprise when Tyler and I stumbled upon this photoesque location last spring. Surrounded by a forest of tall trees planted in perfectly straight lines, only found by veering off of the clean, trimmed path that snakes around it, this truly is a road less traveled and the perfect picture for this week’s challenge.
What a remarkable photo. This place must’ve been quite a find. You certainly brought out the best in it.
Thanks a lot, it was incredibly surreal!
That usually happens when a landscape is deforested and replanted by humans
Cool, it must’ve been done so long ago- the trees are huge! We jokingly discussed the possibility of aliens… humans makes far more sense, haha.
Nice ambience.
Thanks- it’s a great spot!
This space suggests an abundance of stories. I would have been tempted to follow the path to find out where it may lead. I like the angle you used to take the photo as it adds an element of intrigue and makes interesting viewing.
Thank you- and oh we followed it, alright! The light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, wasn’t as exciting as it may look. It led to a country road on the edge of a provincial park. Unfortunately the view from the road looking in wasn’t as exciting as this one. The openness of the road is what provided the light, which wasn’t the case at the other end, which was darkened by surrounding trees.
I realize that takes all of the mystery out of it though… maybe I should’ve kept my mouth shut!
Not at all. It’s fascinating what the imagination thinks it will find and what reality is really there.
Good point!
That’s a painting waiting to happen!
Get on it Kel!
Excellent! It gave me goose bumps. Even if you don’t want to name the city, may I ask where on the planet this was taken? Country/province (state)?
Thanks! I don’t mind naming the place, it was taken in Port Elgin, Ontario, just on the border of MacGregor Point Provincial Park. Literally just down the road from where we used to live, I was shocked to find such a gem so close to home. Also, a little disappointed in myself that I hadn’t gone exploring and found it sooner!
Ooo…headin’ to Nova Scotia in June…mapquesting how much of a trek this would be to lay my eyes on. Beautiful!
Thank you.
No problem, depending on where you’re coming from, it might be a bit of a hike. Port Elgin is about 2.5 hours north of Toronto, if you’ll be around that area at all… and might I add if you decide to travel as far as Port Elgin, I would 100% encourage you to travel an extra 1-1.5 hours north into the Bruce Peninsula, where there is a national park. There is a very uniquely awesome overhanging cliff that gives you unbelievable views, and there’s a cool cave (called The Grotto) that is definitely worth checking out. The park has a campground as well, if you’re into camping!
Definitely a perfect photo! The way the trees are lined up, it’s a clear invitation to follow the path and check out what’s waiting at the end.
Thank you!
Hi,
Very unique indeed. I love the perspective and looks somewhat like like a white tunnel or door. Excellent capture.

I love this shot!!!
