Trails & Red Dirt Roads
singing Bob Dylan's
Dirt Road Blues.
The beautiful red dirt roads of PEI are far and few between now.
This one is near the east end of the trail.
The 2 or 3 red dirt roads still left unpaved should be designated heritage sites, doncha think?! Look how lovely this one is!
The stream and the caboose are near Richmond, PEI, 2003 - west of Summerside.
I've been considering not cycling in areas where I have to be on a highway, especially going up or down the Coquihalla Highway, BC, where cycling is very dangerous. Instead, I may pack my bike onto the van and drive those areas.
My main interest is in doing trails, dirt roads, and even secondary roads which may be paved. But not highways. My objective is not to do 9,990 km. but to ride where the Trans Canada Trail is a trail, from coast to coast. And photographing it as I go.
In PEI, I had to force myself not to stop so often to take pictures. There is so much beauty there on the trail that at first I was stopping several times a kilometer to photgraph, and exhausting myself with all the starting and stopping, not to mention using up all the time allotted for the trip and using up all the memory on the memory card.
The camera club I belong to, PhotoNat of Belleville, ON, is nature photography only, and that is my main interest although I also love to photograph sheds, barns, and cabooses, too.
In fact, anyone reading this who will be in the Belleville area this weekend may see our annual display of photos at the Quinte Mall.
