This week we have another guest host for The Lens-Artists Photo challenge: Beth. She reminds us, to not only discover the cities or national parks, where everyone goes to. Instead, discover the beauty of the backcountry or hinterland. Btw. hinterland is a borrowed word from German and means, you guess it, hinterland or as the Aussies would say outback.
For finding such images in your archive, Excire Foto is a big help. When using EXCIREFIRE20 at checkout you can save 20%.

Nice ones. I like tree-lined roads. Something about Man’s path through Nature? Who knows.
😊 thanks, John
Great shots of country roads. I love the tree lined road. Thanks for participating in the challenge.
Thanks 😊
Beautiful tree road!
Thanks, Amy 😊
Lovely images Andre – the trees are such verdant green. Clearly a lovely summer’s day no?
Thanks, Tina. Both images are take at May 1st. It’s spring and therefore we see this fresh green. A nice sunny and warm day.
Great photos, and thanks for that useful tip
You’re welcome 😊
Wonderful tree lined road! Love all that green 🙂
Thanks, Julie. Unfortunately, these kind of roads isn’t common anymore. Up the 1950/1960s this kind of roads were very common. Nowadays, such avenues are rare and therefore noticed in travel guides. This road is part of the Germany wide so called Alleenstraße (avenue road). With interruptions you can travel throughout Germany on such avenues from north to south. This part is in Western Germany.
Shame to hear they aren’t very common … they are so beautiful!
Yep. But, in our world of cars and lorries using the streets much more than in the past, the streets got clogged too often. And in fall the fallen foliage makes the roads very slippery. So, I can understand why city governments removed them. But, you’re right, it’s a pity. Nowadays, these roads are most often protected. And that’s great 😃
