Here is a picture from the exhibition ROAD TO NOWHERE, which was organized by the inofficial WALLSTREETJOURNAL in Berlin last winter.
(For more pictures check: www.km4042.de/index.php?category=projekte&subCategory...
From left to right you see the contributions of SWOON, BIC (with a DOSH-tag on it), F*CK YOUR CREW, CORTO, NIKITA, OKAY 7 and SOLOVEI!
The concept of the exhibition was to compile the posters there just for about a week and then to put them to the streets again. So they were fixed in a removable way.
[At the moment I'm updating my flickr-account with all my fotolog-pictures. This means, that the pictures were taken a while ago. I think the shown works are still worth to be seen!]
"We're on a road to nowhere
come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
we'll take that ride"
by Talking Heads
Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
- Talking Heads
At the end of the "road to nowhere" a tunnel once intended for vehicular traffic sees only hikers accessing part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Horse parties also may use the tunnel but an absence of poop indicates most horse traffic uses the tunnel bypass trail.

If you go to this Dixie County spot, remember to bring your camera and pack out your trash. To get there, it’s the southern extension of County Road 361 that runs from Casey’s Corner in Jena (just across the river from Steinhatchee) and reaches -nowhere- about 12 miles south, inshore of the Pepperfish Keys.

Well we know where we're going
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowing
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
I'm feeling okay this morning
And you know
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go...
Talking heads - Road to Nowhere
Well we know where were goin
But we dont know where weve been
And we know what were knowin
But we cant say what weve seen
And were not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Antigua carretera a Pamplona en la mitad del pantano, ahora seco. Embalse de Yesa. Al fondo se ve Oroel.

Dcim\100gopro\Gopr0297.Jpg. This kind of my first attempt at photography. My first camera was a gopro so i could only capture certain images but there were a few that i was quite proud of and they really inspired to take photography up as a hobby. I found this Mountain in Iceland as I was driving up the east coast going north to diamond beach. The midday sun was hitting it just perfectly, had to stop and take a picture. Hopefully one day i will be able to go back and take a proper one.
We're on a road to nowhere
come on inside.
Takin' that ride to nowhere
we'll take that ride.
I'm feelin' okay this mornin'
and you know.
We're on the road to paradise
here we go
here we go.
I feel like the majority of my photos lately have been dark and down. Hopefully I'll get some more colourful stuff up with the onset of spring. Might be awhile, it snowed yesterday....
In the heart of the America there are lots of Roads to Nowhere. You can drive for hours on roads just like this one. Set speed control and you are set just keep the windows open to keep awake.

This picture was taken on Squirrel Neck Run Road outside of Midland. It was a beautiful sunny autumn day. The fall foliage was almost at its peak.
Information about Midland:
Midland is a town in Allegany County, Maryland, United States, located along the Georges Creek Valley. It is part of the Cumberland, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 473 at the 2000 census.
The town of Midland is 1,600 feet (490 m) above sea level, is located 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Frostburg, Maryland and 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Lonaconing, Maryland. Paradise Run and Neff's Run carry the precipitation from Dan's Mountain on the east to Georges Creek, while Squirrel Neck Run feeds it from the west off of Savage Mountain. Some say that Midland derived its name from its location, some say it was named after the Midlands in Scotland by the Scottish settlers.
Midland is proud of its two churches—St. Joseph's Catholic Church and Grace United Methodist Church. Both were established in 1891. The bells of St. Joe’s and the chimes of Grace ring out daily from the hill at the edge of town where the churches sit side by side.
About a mile beyond the town's limits, anyone making the climb to the top of the magnificent outcropping known as Dan's Rock is rewarded with an incomparable view of the eastern end of the county and nearby West Virginia. Generations of townsfolk and visitors have marveled at the spectacular sunrises and sunsets seen from this highest point in Allegany County.
Midland was founded in 1850 as a coal-mining community in the heart of the George's Creek Valley, once a major center of the nation’s coal industry. But coal production started to decline after World War I, and today only some strip mining remains as the last vestige of this once all important industry. Coal trains that once went through the town daily now pass only once or twice a month.
Most of the original settlers came in response to the abundance of jobs available in the coal mines. Many were Irish, but German, Scottish, and Welsh names also are found in the early records of the town.
Once a bustling town with big stores, a hotel, and an opera house, Midland today projects a friendly laid-back atmosphere. A convenience store offers the basic necessities, but major shopping is done in the larger communities of Frostburg, LaVale, and Cumberland. The post office in the heart of town is the gathering point for the townspeople to meet and chat.

Looking east along the track towards Woodgate Farm and Tote Lane... near Stedham.
And best viewed on a dark background!
Taken at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, in Oceanville, New Jersey, by Atlantic City, from a tower location. Kinda like the road to nowhere (overused phrase?)
Have you ever noticed how it can be weirdly comfortable to be sleep deprived to a certain point.
Everything slows down just a bit and your view of the world seems to narrow down just enough to block out all the noise that would normally distract you. You see things differently.
Made from 9 different exposures.

Tired and lonely still we stand,
On a road to nowhere.
Trapped in a world of endless days, my engine's stalling.
Body and mind are breaking down,
On a road to nowhere.
Destiny silent, hear no sound, as I wait forever.
This was taken on the 380 somewhere between Plains, Tx and the border to New Mexico. I was getting road trip - tired and also found it so surreal that the roads where so empty of traffic! Coming from England this is something very special indeed..
Tired or not, road tripping is awesome :-))
As usual, I feel the need to mention that these images are scans. We didn't have a digital camera back then - forgive me! ;o)
Souvenir Foto assignment No. 7: Forced perspective & Faux tilt shift
I was out in Folsom briefly on Sunday to take my cats to the vet, and since it's not far from nowhere, I drove around looking for a shot that I could faux tilt shit and this seemed to fit the bill. I had fun with the program, and would like to play around with it a lttle more. I think it'll open my eyes to photo opportunities I may not have noticed otherwise.
I haven't been feeling too great this week, so I haven't had a chance to get out to take any other photos. I'm really hoping to be able to capture a forced perspective shot today before the deadline, but even if I don't, my interest in forced perspective has been piqued enough that I'll be doing one very soon, even if it can't be for the group. :)

Scottish Hiighlands...Southern end of Glen Etive, where the River Etive meets the Loch.
Well we know where we're goin'
but we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
but we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
and we know what we want
And the future is certain
give us time to work it out
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Feelin' okay this mornin'
And you know,
We're on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go
We're on a ride to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride
Maybe you wonder where you are
I don't care
Here is where time is on our side
Take you there...take you there
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
We're on a road to nowhere
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
and it's all right, baby, it's all right
And it's very far away
But it's growing day by day
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
Would you like to come along
and you could help me sing this song?
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
They can tell you what to do
But they'll make a fool of you
And it's all right, baby, it's all right
We're on a road to nowhere
[Talking Heads]
