Real or Fake?

[guido]

Hello,
It sure looks unreal doesn't it?
Or..........is it real?.
Guido.

 

[glennster]

i'd guess its real. it looks like county road e between south fork and moody Missouri.

 

[old]

Seen many places here in the great state of Misery that look like that. Hit them at 100 miles and hour and you get a nice smooth ride hit them at the speed limit and you have to go back and get your stomach

 

[Red Dave]

Can't be in Pennsylvania. Don't see any potholes.

 

[Anonymous-0]

[rhouston]

Kind of looks like a typical Missouri road, except it is too wide, and too straight.

 

[Hoby]

Looks to be a Indiana ATV trail. I can tell by the yellow lines.

 

[BDT/NWMN]

I like the motorcycle lane in the center of the roadway...

 

[Pair-a-dice farm]

It looks like hwy 142 between Doniphan and Thayer, MO, I'd say real.

 

[ASEguy]

Actually looks like Highway 8 between St. James and Salem MO. We call them WEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAS as in we had a stomach.

 

[ddl]

Looks like the highways in Alaska

Oil painting. The grass dabbing brush hit the pavement on the right side bottom. Tree leaves have not real shape any where.You can see the light green outline where the dark green almost wiggled to the light edge.

Can't be in Ohio...no orange barrels!

It's real unretouched photo. You can get that effect by using a telephoto lens on your camera. Try it sometime on a railroad track. You will get some "hills" that no train would be able to climb.

 

[Dick L]

And you can get sun brightened leaves on one side without any shadows on the other. Sure it is real!

 

[NCWayne]

Looks real to me, even caught part of the vehicle the photographer was in in the upper left corner.

That reminds me of something I heard on the radio years ago. Was out in the middle of nowhere and flipping through the AM dial to find anything. I ran into G. Gordon Liddy that has or had a show on whatever station that was. Anyway he was reading a story from the paper that day about a couple of moonshiners down wherever that took a Lynx helicopter engine and mounted it into the back of about a '70 Chevy Caprice Estate Wagon and fired it up on what sounded like about the same kind of road. Caught the first hills peak at about 90, and then down into the valley and back up the next peak that hair pin corned around a mountain. They didn't make the hair pin corner and were estimated to be doing a couple or perhaps even few hundred miles per hour when they got to the peak of the second hill and then launched into the side of the mountain, no survivers. He was laughing so hard as he tried to read it into the micrphone, and I was laughing so hard that I was crying at his laughing and trying to envision the whole thing playing out and I could barely keep my truck in one lane or on the road.

Real or not? Who cares? Try to imagine a couple of drunk moonshiners with a powerful turbine engine in the back of a Chevy Caprice Estate Wagon...Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, its Vern and Merle...

Real photo, taken with a long tele lens.

[scotc]

Looks like it could be along old route 21 above Statesville or 58 below Wytheville.

 

[Jimmy King]

I resemble that remark.

 

[greygoat]

Looks like Pepin county Highway "CC" between
Lund and Spring Valley Wisconsin

 

[60 acre hillside]

I drove the road from Doniphan to Thayer to get a 14 ton load of crushed white gravel to go on a roof of the new bowling alley at Doniphan. I was raining on the return trip.

 

[60 acre hillside]

I forgot it was in 1965 Godge C600 underpowered . Was beautiful going but on return bad thunderstorm and dangerous.

 

[jcsinga]

Id say fake, the oil slicks in the middle of the lanes would be more concentrated much closer to the bottom of the hill.

 

[bc]

I think the deer in the trees is real.

 

[showcrop]

Looks like part of the Airline Rd. from Bangor to Calais ME.

(quoted from post at 20:37:33 11/30/10) I forgot it was in 1965 Godge C600 underpowered . Was beautiful going but on return bad thunderstorm and dangerous.

Back in the late 70's I hauled feed in a LN8000 ford 10 wheeler... waaay underpowered. I drove that road 3-4 times a week. They didn't have the center line in the middle and it was wider going east. I was through there a few weeks ago and the road is still rolling but the lines are better.

Hello pair-a-dice farm,
HUmmmm........... It most be a real picture then!
Guido

 

[Pair-a-dice farm]

I didn"t mean to say I had driven that particular road. I meant to respond to 60 acre, I"ve driven hwy 142 in MO and there are spots that look an awful lot like that. Sooo is it real or fake?

 

[guido]

Hello
Pair-a- dice farm.
I was told it was real.
I have seen a road very close to that one on an episode of Andrew Zimmern, You know the guy that eats most everything he sees or touched, while he was in Texas.
I still have it recorded.
I may get a print out of that program with that road, if i get some time.
Guido.

Hello 60 acre hillside,
Probably a 318 Cu In. with a 4 barrel carb rated at 200 H.P.
You could pedal faster!
