Or you could just make up your own design....the 2nd pics looks way shopped to me.....very unsual that you can see the whole of a road that lenght.....with that many corners on the side of a mountain range....nice concept though.

First one in my backyard - The road to Haast from Wanaka - although the Devils Staircase also looks a bit like that..
The other? sheesh, at a guess on the West Coast.
(Used up all my broadband and can't be naffed opening the pics)
