Interpretation of a road. (because it's really just a road)

in Ali Hembree's blog, she critiques the following photo:

Where Ali interprets the picture as a road, going straight, than in all sorts of different directions, than straightening out again, I see the picture as a straight road, with the line just painted weirdly.

In life, there is a road, it's only one road, as depicted in the picture, but some people, in this case the 'people' is the person who made the piece of art, interpret it in different ways. As most road painters choose to paint straight, double yellow lines on a road for safety, he chooses to say that the road is open to his interpretation.

So, even when there is something as concrete and [quite literally] set in stone as a paved road, we can choose to see it how we want, and interpret it as we like.
