Alright, so I took this shot with the intention of trying to frame a bit of the park with the background of traffic to make some sort of commentary about a place of rest and recreation not being quite when bordered by a busy road, but it didn’t quite turn out that way.

This is my submission into the two hundred-and-fortieth Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “The Road (most often) Taken“.

I think this fits the challenge due to showing roads with traffic in action. These are main roads and as such they often are busy. There are other roads to take, but these being one considered most direct they often see more use than quieter roads. Besides which, quieter roads won’t necessarily mean faster travel, even taking traffic into consideration.

The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:

Week 1 – Tina

Week 2 – Patti

Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya

Week 4 – Amy

Week 5 – John Steiner

Week 6 – Sofia Alves

Week 7 – Anne Sandler

Week 8 – Donna

Week 9 – Guest host

John is curating this one. The next one is curated by Sofia.

I recommend participating in the challenges. They’re open enough to allow for a fair bit of thinking about approach and closed enough to keep focus on meeting the theme of each one. If you don’t participate, you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.

I hope you enjoy.
