Road Less Traveled



Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

  2. Nice one.

    I would just crop the bottom 20% or so of the picture to accentuate the pattern on the tire.

  3. Very nice picture. more of a question than a comment. was the red part of the bike left in the picture, to accentuate the pattern/focus on the tire to provide contrast?

  4. @Karthik: Yes, the red was left in the picture as a contrast. It was intentional.

  5. Dumma: The lower half of the tire has been blurred out just to imply the repetitive pattern.

  7. Jaidev: Yup looking forward to the bike ride tomorrow. This is my mountain bike, hence the dust on the treads.

  8. Vivek: Yes, I used the 50mm prime lens for this.

    Bike could see some more usage, for sure. Now that it has stopped raining, Aanya is rearing to get back on the trail.
