Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you... . . . .Look at every path closely and deliberately, Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question , , , Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.
from The Teaching of Don Juan by Carlos Castanedo

One of the many paths leading up to the King Faisal mosque inside the Mindanao State University campus in Marawi, Lanao del Sur, Philippines.
Stairs fly as straight as hawks;
Or else in spirals, curve out of curve, pausing
At a ledge to poise their wings before relaunching.
Stairs sway at the height of their flight
Like a melody in Tristan;
Or swoop to the ground with glad spread of their feathers
Before they close them.
They curiously investigate
The shells of buildings,
A hollow core,
Shell in a shell.
Useless to produce their path to infinity
Or turn it to a moral symbol,
For their flight is ambiguous, upwards or downwards as you please;
Their fountain is frozen,
Their concertina is silent.
"Flight Of Stairs", A.S.J. Tessimond

A beautiful path leading to the famous german waterfall at Triberg. I find the colors of leaves interesting, and the moist path owing to the recent showers made the ground look red. The rocks add a touch of harshness contrasting well with the softness of the leaves. I would have liked some light falling somewhere in the photo, but the day was overcast and it rained right after I took this photograph and I had to run for shelter. I could have taken a vertical shot here, and the trees would be more domineering then. Well, always a reason to go back, isn't it?
Path near Pico Ruivo, island of Madeira, Portugal.
Pico do Arieiro with its 1818 m (5965 ft) is the third highest peak of Madeira. It is comfortably accessible by car. We hiked from Pico do Arieiro to Madeira's highest peak, Pico Ruivo (1861 m / 6106 ft), and back.
Madeira is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic ocean, approximately 1000 km (620 mi) southwest of Lisbon and 700 km (435 mi) west of the Moroccan coast. Situated in a hot spot area, Madeira is of volcanic origin, formed during several eruptive phases, the last of which ended around 6500 years ago. Madeira is a very mountainous island. With an extent of only 57 km (35 mi) from west to east and 22 km (14 mi) from north to south, and with the highest mountain having an elevation of 1862 m (6109 ft), the terrain of the island is mostly very rocky and steep, except for the high plateau Paul da Serra.
Madeira is also known as the "island of flowers", although most of the popular "typical" Madeiran flowers (like the bird of paradise flower, the hydrangea, the agapanthus and others) are neither endemic nor native. Some of the genuine Madeiran plants are the "Pride of Madeira" (Echium candicans), Canary Islands Juniper (Juniperus cedrus) and the laurel forests of Madeira (the latter one being listed as UNESCO World Heritage).
Madeira is permeated by artificially built water channels called levadas, which distribute the water from the wetter northern half of the island to the agricultural regions of the south. The levadas, mostly built by prisoners or slaves, were cut into the side of the mountains, partly running through tunnels, and enabled for example the cultivation of sugar cane which was the source of the Madeiran wealth during the 15th to 17th century.
Today most of the levadas are still in use, not only for irrigation but also for hydroelectricity. Running across the whole island, they provide a wide network of walking paths, making even extremely remote regions of the island accessible to pedestrians, which is one of the reasons for Madeira's popularity as a hiking paradise.

New York Power Authority’s Smart Path clean energy transmission infrastructure project in the North Country has now been completed and successfully energized. The Smart Path project is an upgrade of 78 miles of transmission lines that span from Massena in St. Lawrence County to Croghan in Lewis County. The milestone helps put New York on track to meet its nation-leading clean energy goals, outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, including 70 percent renewable energy generation by 2030 and a zero-emissions electricity sector by 2040.
A path leading towards a pink tulip field, 1 day before it was chopped (which I noticed today). Even though it was cloudy and a bit rainy I'm quite happy with the result, normally I don't take my camera out to the fields when it's rainy but I knew that soon they would be chopped.
This is an HDR from 3 exposures. and I used a Hitech 0.9 ND grad filter.
