Beautiful drive home... by

…if you were facing this way but most people were going the other way! I have a love/hate affair with freeways, hate being on them but love taking photos of them and seeing this one is only 5 minutes from my house it’s always the one I go to. Walking home from the station I looked up and that damn this is gonna be a good sunset and as I didn’t have enough time to get anywhere near the coast or somewhere beautiful I headed here instead.

About Alistair Wilson

Photography for me is an outlet, a way I can express myself through images rather than words. I look at the subjects I shoot from every possible angle that I can imagine and with the right light, the vision in my head becomes a reality. My passion for it began after high school and over the past several years it has become my release, my way of seeing from a different perspective..

    Like this! yeah, I’m like you, I hate driving on freeways. Bit annoying how the Monash is still being slowed down to 80km – even when there’s no workmen! Great shot.

  • Thanks for the comment! yeah it sucks, it’s 80km/h the whole way from my place to the city and over the westgate
