Roads and paths are not just places we do a lot of walking on. They hold immense powers of symbolism in our culture, our literature and our art. They are the ones taking us to places we can only imagine. They create the mysteries of hidden secrets and views we've never seen before. They are also a great place to walk and admire while we clear our heads and do some thinking.
These paths are not only a way to a destination, but are destinations in their own right - beautiful, colorful and uplifting. I hope you get to walk on some of these one day. (Click on the images to see them with more detail)
