Road to heaven
Posted Thursday, May 25th, 2006
This is an image I made last Winter up in Chino Hills behind a housing development. I tried going back this year to make another version but I guess it was a dryer Winter and nothing was green. When things did finally turn green the sun was setting in the wrong place. I’ll give it another go next season, if this hasn’t all been turned into houses or shopping centers. I’ve got another shot coming up in a couple of days that shows a wider view of this area.
This is my entry for the Photo Friday theme “The Road.”
Update: Voted noteworthy by Photo Friday fans. Thanks, folks!
Wow!!
Beautiful shot!
AMAZING! I hope you win Photo Friday…you deserve to.
This photograph is beyond words.
Development sucks…especially when you see a place you love disappear or change drastically. Good job on the photo. Will be good for memories.
Mighty, I would have to say! It does look like it is the road to heaven! Hehe, I would have to save this link :P

I just search for the word “Heaven” and come out your photo. Absolutely I was impressed, So no more searching just save as background. Thanks.
Well, one thing wrong; the angle is a bit bad (You can see trees in the background) aside from that, amazing!
Wow…what an amazing picture..its on my desktop right now..thank you
really amazing!! the contrast between the sky and the land shows a kind of silent harmony and that’s what heaven is: a silent harmony for souls to rest in peace

pay more attention to the details next time.
a few minutes more around photoshop, and we wouldn’t notice it is fake..
i see the trees at the top of the mount..
globally.. nice work. =)
Thanks for the tip but it’s genuine. Interesting theory about “trees” but I didn’t notice any when I was there (or this time or this time or in the satellite photo).
:-)
wow,really cool picture.i like
the top of this hill looks like a vajayjay. beautiful
and also in response to “pay more attention to the details next time.

Though criticism can often be helpful, perhaps you should be a little more critical of yourself before you start shooting off comments that aren’t backed by fact. It isn’t that hard to come by a picture of a HORIZON so I don’t see why the photographer would have to doctor this picture in the first place. What you are seeing is the tops of trees above the horizon.
I like the way the street winds up to the top of the hill. And I very much like the sky!
Wow, that’s absolutly beautiful, one of the most stunning photographs I’ve ever seen.
very nice pic, a lover of nature can easily understand d beauty of nature by dis pic, i want to kiss ur hands
My soul is thrilled by that picture. How do I go about buying a large print 0f it?
Wow. That is a truely stunning picture.
I have used it for a manipulation, i hope you don’t mind?
I have credited you, but i just want to check it is ok for me to use it.
Keep up the work. That is a once-in-a-lifetime shot. =D
very nice, I am so glad my son shared it with me.
Wow… so nice! Congratulations, this picture is awesome, the colors are georgeous!
