Roads and paths pervade our literature, poetry, artwork, linguistic expressions and music. Even photographers can't keep their eyes (and lenses) off of a beautiful road or path, which is why we collected this list of 28 amazing photos of paths.
Paths like these have a powerful grip on the human imagination - they can bring adventure, promise and change or solitude, peace and calm. There's nothing like a walk down a beautiful path to clear your head - or to fill it with ideas!
I'll leave you with an excellent quote from J. R. R. Tolkien's works while you enjoy these images; "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
