Description Jantha road again...its fun walking that road

Roads go ever ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever on,
Under cloud and under star.
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen,
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green,
And trees and hills they long have known.

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 weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

The Road goes ever on and on
Out from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone.
Let others follow, if they can!
Let them a journey new begin.
But I at last with weary feet
Will turn towards the lighted inn,
My evening-rest and sleep to meet.

Still 'round the corner there may wait
A new road or secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

This was the only thing I could knowingly think of to describe what I feel from this image. It's a song sung from The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien. My mind is unusual in how it enterprets things so hopefully you will understand why I matched this song to your photograph.

Wow! I like it...i think i'll add it to the description! A thousand thank yous for your comments! Your the best!
Hmm this pic is a bit too yellow. I toned it down a bit on my comp but not uploaded that version. I'm reluctant to do anything to this one on DA. what do you think?

I think I like it how it is. If it's toned down, the title won't fit quite right, lol. Go ahead and upload the edited one too, but leave this one here too.
