The Open Road

Album Info:
Some of the most beautiful scenery I've encountered was while driving the open roads of British Columbia Canada. This stretch of highway is just outside of Merritt, a small town renowned for it's Merritt Mountain Music Festival which is Canada's largest Country Music Festival held every July. Featured artists this year (2008) include The Judds, Sara Evans, Dierks Bentley, The Wilkinsons, Hank Williams Jr. & Sugarland.

Wonderful image. There were so many marvelous entries in this challenge, it just have been a real delight to have found your entry among the winners. Congratulations for making it into the circle, even though in my opinion this image should have placed somewhere above the bottom of selected winning entries.
