Photographer's Statement:

This photo shows how nature and mankind work together. The road shows how mankind has disrupted nature, but also shows the open vastness of the forest. The road is enveloped by the forest, just as humans can find great solace in escaping from our daily lives and entering nature. The beautiful, clean air that we can find in nature allows us a break from our day-to-day lives and gives us a mental break from all that goes on in our busy lives.
