True, As one feels as if they are walking this path.

were you going for a polished shot here or just documenting the landscape as you were hiking ...wasnt sure if you were asking for a critique. you've definitely captured the fact of the impact mankind has made on our little blue planet and it is a nice s curve. I'm not a fan of this as an art piece but it is a nice human record shot.

It does deal about a landscape photography. All critiques are welcome. My aim is not to document my land. Moreover, any landscape displays the mark of mankind. All landscape, more or less, depend on human actions.
In this photography, men are invisible. However, their action is obvious.

Well said David. We are walking side by side with nature and affecting it and we share it's pain.This is a bit provocative but from Romans 8.

The Future Glory
18Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.

I believe we are on a timeline which the scientists in their wisdom also warn us about, eg climate change.

I do like the picture. Responsible landowners do work the land also to protect it.This could be a service road, a firebreak or some sort of anti erosion device.I note the poles crossing the middle of the landscape.

Thanks a lot for your comment.
This is a meadow which existence is due to a Land consolidation stage. Cows come from time to time.
Yes, the poles are a pity....

The poles don't really worry me. We have lots of huge poles in various remote landscapes in Australia. They are necessary for communication and electricity transmission. Also major wind farms which sometimes in their own way they are attractive but always cause controversy. Our landscape is big enough to absorb them.

Nice shot!
