Patched Pavement

 
It can be anywhere -- a certain magic moment as I find myself along a road without visible traffic. 

It can be an old highway appearing to merge into -- or to be enveloped by -- its surroundings....

Or it can be vast scenery stretching into some diminishing distance...

Or a scene that hints at the bypassing of time...

This view is from within Arches National Park.  The pavement is well marked, and is full of patches.  In the far distance snow-covered mountains speak to the varied Utah landscape. 

For many years this image graced the opening page of this website.
