Isn’t it fascinating? Colorado photographer Nate Zeman shot this intriguing stretch of road in Door County, Wisconsin. He describes it as an “unnecessarily curvy road.” Bit of an understatement, eh? The most likely explanation, he says, is that a famed landscape artist lived in the area and thought the perfect highway would be “a thoroughfare that slowed traffic and kept nature always in its view.” The inclusion of the street sign drives home the point.
I’ve featured a few of Zeman’s photographs in the past, and there are many more on his website. You owe it to yourself to go take a look.
Will have to add this to my list for a someday visit. A nice slow drive through the woods. Glad to note it is a double yellow line, too 😎
Pretty amazing, isn’t it? I doubt any highway department I’ve ever heard of would lay out the extra time and money to construct a road like this. This should be as famous as that curvy street in San Francisco.
Great road to ride a motorcycle on. Saw something similar with a wooden fence in California. It was built in a straight line but because of a fault line the posts moved out of straight over the years.
I’ve no experience on a motorcycle, but I can see how it would be fun.
This did remind me of my much younger days riding a motorcycle on twisty roads in the Sierras. There is nothing like a motorcycle to get the feel of a road like this. Thanks for this delightful reminder that the slower, more crooked roads are a good thing. These days I very much prefer them to the interstates!
I’ve never been on a motorcycle. The closest I could come is driving mountain roads with all the windows and sunroof open, sweeping back and forth around the curves. I once compared it to dancing with the mountains.
“…dancing with the mountains” describes it perfectly, but on a motorcycle it’s on steroids… But that goes back to my younger, wilder days! 😜
LOL. I don’t think I ever had any wild days, but there sure were a lot of younger ones. I can imagine how much better it would be on a motorcycle … wheee!
Sadly because covid I cant do my hobby 😦
I hope that changes for you and all of us very soon.
