For this week’s theme I thought of two pictures showing completely different scenes. The first is from Chicago showing late afternoon traffic. The second is from the Foothills Parkway in Tennessee and leads to panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Both roads may lead to adventure, so take your pick!

The Chicago pic gave me a smell of hot cement and exhaust fumes and the foothills gave me an aroma of dust, warm leaves and fresh earth. Guess which I prefered.

Both are really beautiful in different ways, aren’t they? I love the Chicago skyline. And the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains is undeniably appealing. What a great comparison for the travel theme. :-) I want to travel both of them!

Most certainly the foothills of those incredible smokey mountains. So stunning, those colours are something I dream of when it comes to beautiful autumn tones! I ,ove the way the trees and bushes frame that road with a perfect canopy.
Perfect for long travels…
