Abandoned Section, Hwy. 101, 3 By Azraphale Watch

2 Favourites 2 Comments 2K Views

I stubled over this short stretch of Highway 101 in northern California that had been abandoned, apparently because the road that was grafted onto the hillside was slipping down the side of the mountain and into the Eel River. They relocated the highway several hundred feet to the east, but you can still walk along the abandoned section if you know where to find it.



I think this is my favorite of the set. So often, it's the last shot I shoot that is really the one I wanted to have, as if in shooting, I was paring away the other possibilities so I could home in on the real artistic vision in my subconscious.
