This site has always been about the beauty of our planet and the marvels of excellent photography. I love being able to see so many amazing images daily. I have recently moved to SoCal and miss the fall color fiercely- THANK YOU! Also, roads like that are prevalent in WI and Western IA bluff country- out of necessity. It is beautiful and amazingly well maintained! That said: It is bow season in WI currently and you wear camouflage to hunt by bow- that hat is the last thing a hunter would be wearing. (If it were gun season he'd be in blaze orange.) Also, people brought their prejudices in here to a lovely photo. Deer have but a very few bobcats as natural predators thanks to human intervention. They die of starvation due to over population every year. Is it any more humane to make them starve to death, or die slowly from an auto collision? Also, how compassionate is it of people doing well enough to be contributing on this website to shun a person for feeding their family? I find the photo breathtaking- thank you once again.

I took my lead from that in that the poster suggests the man in the shot is wearing a hunting licence on the back of his coat and scoping out his tree stand. If that is not so, then I apologise for making my hunting remark. In answer to Age: Did you read the first post?

This photo is GREAT! It represents what rural America is about at this time of year, and it is no different that if it were a painting of a primitive man preparing to provide food for his family. I may see things entirely differently because of where I live and how I was raised (poor working family with meals subsidized by my father's small game hunting skills. The road is crooked because old roads followed game trails and went around marshes or other obstacles, and they're a lot more fun than expressways! ...and you needn't worry about Bambi's grandfather--most of my friends never collect on their deer licenses(more are killed by cars), and those who do know that I'll enjoy a place at their table to enjoy the bounty.
