This challenge took me a brief moment to figure out where the outing would be to fill this creative challenge, Sunday’s gorgeous sunny, chilly weather was perfect.
This weeks challenge, Ritva inspires us with the theme Street Details, with a beautiful collection of images on her blog. Did you catch her shot of the abandoned toilet?
This week my take on this challenge is ‘country street details’ and all the various signs, turns etc that you will come across driving in our rural area. Something that is calming to my nervous system and I can capture the immense beauty, a creative win for me. I was speaking with someone last week and they asked me to confirm my address, its a country address, she asked me if it was a real address even after saying it to her.
The various signs you encounter on country roads, could be vehicles, ATV/UTV, horse and buggy, pedal bikes, walkers, joggers… and the signs for the roads. I shared with my husband what the theme was, of course a drive was in order! What better way for a creative outlet, than to get out IN nature and photograph the signs!
I just love that our towns are surrounded by vast open farm lands.
Its touching to see these signs. Adopt a road in the name of a loved one.
Stay left to follow the road, and right for off roading! Lift your feet please!
My heart, my orbs… nothing better than natures beauty!
Well, reliving it in my photography is pretty next level actually!
Hmmmm… there is a few bridges around that are closed!
No Winter Maintenance roads, many become snowmobile trails in the winter!

The sunburst is interesting in this one!
I love my RF 24-240mm lens when on trips like this!
Bins are out for pick up tomorrow…
I love our bin system within the township we live in.
Also having the mail box. Wont comment on how often lately its been used.
Follow the signs to enjoy lunch at a local spot, way out in the country!
Country road weights for trucks.
One of the most unique country “fences” we have seen!
Just up the road from this weight sign.

I love the fact you go out to shoot your challenge posts. I feel like I’ve just been on a little road trip around your area, brilliant. I really enjoyed the tour and and your images. It’s nice to see a bit of flare in them as well. Its strange isn’t it. The lens makers do everything to cut it out, with coatings and glass arrangements, and we go out of our way to get some flare and sunbursts 🙂

Pamela, I appreciate your dedication, going out for a drive to get the signs for this theme. Lots of long gravel roads in the rural area and good for you getting a lovely sunny day for the drive. Thanks for the tour in your neighborhood.

Pam, I loved your take on the theme. So many times we pass road signs and don’t notice their details. The fence is gorgeous.
