Description Location: Lismoyle, County Londonderry, Ireland.
_________
This is probably the most unused road in Ireland. There ain't one single house along it; just bogland, birch woodland and a fiew rough fields.

I was cycling along it yesterday...it's dead scary at dusk and I got chased along it by a guy on a motercycle. I was peddling my wee legs off and everytime I looked round I saw a waving fist followed by a helmet then a headlight emmerging over the hill, getting closer and closer...
...I'll maybe stop there before I exaggerate anymore (It's not my fault...I'm Irish)
___________

Lyrics by James Taylor:

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself
Don't turn your head back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees.

Very nice photo. The trees give a very desolate feel to the photo.

Nice shot! You definitely captured a lonely and possible bleak scene. I love the high contrast and composition.

Thanks I was looking through some of my non deviant art pics today and I zoomed in on one of the road pictures (similar to this one) and to my surprise, Mr Motorcyle guy is there in the distance!! Brings back the memories

Wow, scary stuff!
At least you were on a bike though. Most of the time I go walking by myself and when a car or motorbike comes out of nowhere it does make me jump!

Nice, I like black and white photos. They seem more dramatic somehow.

I was genuinely scared! I was probably overreacting though...the adrenaline

Well at least when you're on foot you can hide in the hedge or merge into the forest e.g. but if you have a bike you can't hide it anywhere so you have to keep on going until/if you reach home!
