This stretch of road is part of the Brasa Schlucht in Tremosine Sul Garda in northern Italy. From Champione on Lake Garda, you drive up on a narrow mountain road, along the cliff face and through a gorge towards the mountain village of Pieve. The road in the photo is the start of a tunnel through the gorge. The shadows on the road surface are the meshes of the net stretched against the rocks to stop falling rocks. It is mid-day and the sun is high because of this, the shadows of the net are clearly visible. The contrast is high. This route was used in a James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, and also known as the James Bond route. In post-processing, the colour photo was converted to sepia colours with a filter.
