I love the use of light and shadow to evoke emotion. The redwoods are always beautiful, but especially so in this 1910 sepia-toned picture of a winding road through the trees.
Turns in the road are so mysterious and alluring, aren’t they? You never know what delightful things may await you, just around the bend.

Lol! This is one that is subject to interpretation!
Don’t be afraid of the shadows, that only means there’s a light nearby.
