Hollow ways

Few shots down the deep lanes today

I like following those country lanes when I don't know where they're heading. It's like a magical mystery tour.

That looks so green, so pastoral. Are those lanes for walking, or for cars? I thought I saw the bonnet of a car in two of the photos. Are there lay-bys so cars can pass each other?

Ahhhh, subdued lighting. Love it, thanks for sharing.

This took me to the quote

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep".

I think I have a picture or two that I took of my garden where the paths lead to nowhere.

Both, there are passing places for cars. The lanes got deeper and deeper with carts going down them in the winter, before they were tarmacked.

Yep, that's my car bonnet, I was doing a street view with the camera on top of the car

Zigs, we have "sunken roads" here, too. They are mostly country lanes that have the soil compacted by years and years of wagon traffic. Some are so deep that they are almost invisible when standing in a field and looking across the lane.
In the battle of Antietam during our Civil War, there was a sunken road that became known as "bloody lane", for obvious reasons.

Got any pictures?

Sorry, no photos. And if I did, they wouldn't be as beautiful as the ones you posted!!

Beautiful! What a way to travel, enjoying that magnificent scenic view It reminds me on an old park in my city, it was filled with trees and plants... the air in there was so freaking pure and fresh!!!
