I am looking for a word that would describe the image of a road that vanishes into the distance. I am fairly confident that there is such a single word since I remember a long time ago finding it and using it somewhere to see similar pictures. I still have the pictures, but not the word.
At first I thought the word might be vista, but it doesn't ring any bells… perhaps there is a more specific word for this case.

I am not sure if there exists a word meaning exactly "a road vanishing in the distance".
Perspective in the context of vision and visual perception, is the way in which objects appear to the eye based on their spatial attributes. In particular, perspective allows for long object to appear to vanish at some point, the vanishing point, which lies on a line called the horizon.
