More photos from last Sunday.

An autumn landscape: two bright red trees in the foreground to the right of a paved road, with tall pine trees visible on both sides. A blue sky with a white contrail stretches above the road.

An autumn landscape with a paved road curving to the right and trees along the roadside with bright red, green, and yellow foliage.

An autumn forest trail covered with fallen leaves stretches into the distance among tall trees. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a pattern of shadows on the ground.

Notice the “Slow” sign on the tree

A paved path in a park stretches into the distance, with two cyclists riding along it. People are sitting on the green lawn to the left, while autumn trees and several large, round sculptural arches are visible on the horizon.

I rode out of the park and reached the North Carolina Museum of Art. There are paths winding among the installations. In general, networks of pedestrian and cycling trails are called greenways.

A concrete pedestrian bridge enclosed by a curved mesh barrier crosses over a road. Green and autumn-colored trees are visible in the background, and fallen leaves lie on the bridge path. Pedestrian bridge over the highway

By the way, I finally found the answer to something I’d been wondering about for a long time. A highway differs from ordinary roads mainly in that it always has grade-separated interchanges (no intersections) and a median strip. Bicycles and pedestrians are not allowed on highways.
