A Walk in the Woods
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

He had one more choice . . . to carve his own road. But that’s a tale for a different set of photographs.
Nice processing on those. I’m always back off on mine because I think it’s too much. I look at yours and it looks better . . . perhaps I don’t go far enough.

Oh, you’re so modest, disperser. Those landscapes and panoramas in your blog are amazing! And I wish I could contribute my piece to some of those lively discussions you’re hosting — maybe later 🙂
I agree, the other choice is to carve your own road (somewhat in line with your discussion on ‘free will’). In fact that’s a good idea for a photo set. Thanks again.
