Sunset on Dirt Roads

Nations road in Geneseo, NY is one of many roads still untainted by the hand of the NYS DOT. Though most people would associate paved roads as a sign of wealth and status, or maybe just standard practice at this point, there is something intriguing about dirt roads in today’s era.

Summer Nights

Maybe it is the knowledge that, when an area is touched less by human hands, there is a possibility for nature in its rawest form to reveal itself. That our surroundings will mimic that of a time long lost. Where distractions came in the form of wildlife and sunrises and less iPhones and social media.

Peaking Through

Quite simply, it is quiet and peaceful. I have the fortune of living within minutes of such serenity. And frankly, I have way more photos of Nations road than I can share here. That must be a sign of my love for the scenery. Looking back on these photos causes me to reflect on a beauty that is often missed in my day to day life.

Country Sunset

An opportunity to slow down and appreciate the simpler things in life. To take a minute and drive out to places as beautiful as this to watch a sunset. To wander around nature to experience the sights, the sounds, the smells, that pure bliss it has to offer. Where else can you experience the colors of warmth in a summer sunset?
