This photograph shows a sense of distance and depth which creates a sense of journey. The narrowing of the path helps to emphasise the distance because it gives you the view of what a person would have looking into the distance. I feel that the bushy trees arching over the path show that there is a difference in light and location, maybe even creating a sense of darkness.

This photo below, which I took, also shows journey through the use of a path. You can see the very clear difference in the width of the path as it goes into the distance. Alongside the path, the difference in light also create a sense of journey because of the transition in the light moving out of the dark and into the light. Also, you can case the road signs alongside the road which also creates a sense of journey because you often associate signs and traffic with a journey.

Both of these pictures demonstrate journey with the use of a path and the depth which create distance. I think they are also different to each other because the first one sourced from the Internet, shows a journey into a natural location because of the forestry arching the path. Where as the latter photograph shows journey in a more man made location because of the road and the traffic signs alongside the path. I also think the light differences show journey because the sense of moving into a dark place to a lighter place.
