Challenge #14 - Lonely roads, deserted back alleys

Whether you live in the city or the boonies you should be able to get out and find one of these in your area. I'm looking for photos that would be worth framing and hanging on the wall, so good composition is a must.

PLEASE read the rules! Put the subject in the title line of your posting and each image MUST be 800 pixels exactly on the longest side. I won't be sending out reminders on this!

I really don't need to see what settings you used, or why or how you took the photo, as long as you give the camera model.

It was all looking a bit picturesque until now... :)

Exif: 1/60s; F/3.2; 37mm Equiv; ISO AUTO
Other - Taken handheld, on a lunch hour photo walk :) If you're wondering about the title, this street has 3 signs, (two on one side of the road, and one on the other) each allocating it a different name.
Taken: April 13th 2006 at 12:46pm
Mode: Landscape.
PP: Colour image was decidely lacklustre, so converted to mono using a gradient map, which was then layer masked and the mask revealed over the areas of spot colour (the road barrier, bollards, gate and lines). Curves tweaked, a little bit of burning to bring up contrast and then a tint applied as the top layer to warm up the black and white.

Taken last week in the small coastal community of Holly Beach, Louisiana, which was completely leveled by Rita seven months ago. Very sad.
