This is a road that actually does lead to my down, which you can see down below. My house is on the right side of the image, behind some trees!
Autocolor, then changed to b/w using the channel mixer (Photoshop). I cloned out a small tree that was getting just a bit too much attention in the center. Fiddled with levels, then resized, added a very slight sepia and sharpened.

You know, I didn't even THINK about making this one in color. But I looked at the original file, and it looks pretty good. I also found that this did in fact look a bit dark on some screens. My screen at home must be better than my screen at work.
Again, thanks for comments, your suggestions for improvement really help!
Dang -- I swore this would be Top 10 material in my original comment, and I was quite sure of myself! Frankly I would have expected this to be in the Top 3, let alone Top 10! It's an awesome shot -- should be hanging on a wall someplace.
DANG! I'd have thought they'd have paved a way to the Sidwell house by now! (NICE leading lines - draws the eye right in!) Love those little clouds as well!
Very beautiful scene/composition and tone. It shows a great deal of depth. I like how that path leads the eye to the city and then to the mountains. A really great photo.
