I took this picture after a thunderstorm in Obidos, Portugal. The rain gradually stopped and I closed my umbrella. As I looked at this scene I wondered which of the sidewalks to follow.

That’s just such a good picture! I’m curious to know which route you chose. I think I feel slightly more tempted by the left one but I’d happily wander along either of them. Whichever one I chose I’d be wondering what might await me along the other one.

I like your image of the diverging roads. As soon as I read what you had written I thought of Robert Frost’s poem ‘The Road not Taken’. It’s nice when images remind us of poems.
