Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It's nice to see a "breathable" freeway between Dromana and Rosebud, after the Easter weekend traffic has gone home.
The Mornington Peninsula on Port Phillip Bay is a very popular place to escape.

I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Being on a freeway is often the first impression of an as yet unknown country - I like your picture as it makes a place I've never been to feel more real.
cheerful view of a freeway indeed.
I agree the road looks so full of space and no bumper to bumper traffic. I like your title, too.
Being on a freeway without bumper to bumper traffic like that is truly freedom. Beautiful sky and trees. Have a great day, Gemma :)
Don't get me started on freeways! hehehe
Bautiful photo....gives a new deffinition to free-way :)
Well, we seldom see roads here that aren't bumper to bumper esp. in the big city of Manila. This is one freedom!
Sorry for being late, just so busy.
