Welcome to episode 22 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! After a most unusual week of the best of weird, whacky and, generally, out of place scenes that were photographed in fantastic ways, it’s time to try something else a bit different.
After last week’s theme, I figured that we take a bit more of a philosophical bent for this week. I’d like you to photograph whichever path(s) appeal to you. In the theme of path, I’d like you to think about where the path might lead you; is this a place that you want to get to, or is it one that you want to avoid? Is this a path that everyone is going to take, or is it just your path?
The path in this photo is still one of my favorites, as I love the forest, and Baxter State Forest is among the best places to be.

Notice how this path leads us into the forest, where mossy ground is inviting for us to take a nap, or just rest and look at the clouds pass overhead.
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
Let’s share these paths with one another and see where they lead us…
Technical Details
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 1D MkII using an EF 24-105mm f/4 lens. The exposure settings were 1/100 second, at f/10 and 400 ISO.

Beautiful photo. Look forward to taking part 🙂

Love it!
Thank you 🙂
Frank what an awesome challenge! I’m sure you know that I love it
☺ It’s actually perfect timing for me – going through some potential changes right now.
I saw light sparkles when you asked about the next challenge. That’s pretty auspicious.
Blessings to you Frank,

Hi Debbie,
glad to hear that this challenge strikes a chord, which doesn’t surprise me. As I mentioned, this one is a bit philosophical as well.
Be well,
Frank
PS – forgot to mention, I love woods too. Gorgeous shot Frank

G’day Frank. It’s been a while since I posted (life’s crazy right now), but I had time to do a post for this challenge: https://thrumieyes.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/path/
Welcome back to normalcy, Kim! I can relate, as work is exploding here…
Thanks Frank. At least we have photography to calm ourselves. 🙂
Wonderful photo Frank and a theme that really resonates with me. Look forward to posting soon.
Thank you, Miriam! Looking forward to seeing your post.
