"Crossroads" - Blacktop's Choice

Got the blues? Down at the crossroads in Mississippi you can sell your soul and becoming a blues legend. Pete wants to make you famous without having to sell your soul, by getting you out to any crossroads. Any intersecting road, highway, river, railroad track, or any objects that intersect. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!



DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY Apr 13
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.



The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

Simple, two-dimensional crossroads are for wusses.

Real drivers navigate through complex, three-dimensional freeway interchanges, of which this one in Sacramento is not a particularly impressive example, but the most impressive that was easily within range for me today.

Just realized a typo in my announcement thread ... this topic will close on April 20th, NOT on the 30th. It's a one week challenge ... obviously I'm date challenged at times. :)

We all slip up occasionally, it just makes it more fair for the ones taken within the period,nothing to do with school principal :D

By Robert Frost.......

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.
