I guess thats the start of the huge australian desert? Are you near the coast?

great perspective, nicely composed to the vanishing point...including the trees ;-) V

expansive here...wide open, exposed, intense and gritty...you must have had a great time roving along this wild road...V

That landscape seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

Beautiful open countryside, so flat, but I think I'd miss mountains.

Maaike Huizer		17-Nov-2011 09:25
Wow, so empty. Beautiful.

The wide open west....looking dry too!!

Draws the eye into the distance.

Brenda		16-Nov-2011 00:26
Wonderful shot as it draws you in...such a long straight road and so flat. Great composition. V

Guest		15-Nov-2011 21:54
It looks like a long, dry road. I like the perspective on this one!

Guest		15-Nov-2011 19:55
Wonderful landscape and great perspective Sheila!!! Beautiful blue sky!!

J. Scott Coile		15-Nov-2011 19:19
Long journey down that road...

Quoting you: "we went for a drive into wheat country a couple of hundred miles inland from where I live" It is nothing much for you Australians to go for long drives... And your roads are so straight and long...Whereas in NZ ours are hardly straight - many hills and curves...

Mary Terry		15-Nov-2011 15:58
I love the open land and blue sky.

this is the beauty of Australia, a landscape with endless horizons and when it starts to look monotone it changes into something different just wonderful

Guest		15-Nov-2011 07:02
Magnificent open view of the beautiful nature you have! ~V

borisalex		15-Nov-2011 06:37
Reminds me of Kansas...without that trees! Great perspective and what huge country!

Yvonne		15-Nov-2011 05:12
So much harder on the driver keeping the concentration when its so straight and flat, but a great shot Sheila!

Cindi Smith		15-Nov-2011 03:35
Nice...love the feel...reminds me of Texas.

Guest		15-Nov-2011 02:39
Beautiful and endless. The land down under. Excellent capture, Sheila. BV

Guest		15-Nov-2011 02:20
Wonderful shot. V.

John King		15-Nov-2011 02:16
Wonderful perspective shot looking down the line of trees and straight highway. Big land and big sky. Lovely image.

Never been to this side of Australia. Looks like the usual long straight road though. Nice composition.

Peter Stahl		14-Nov-2011 23:39
Nice comp Sheila. Looks like an endless road. :-)

Stephanie		14-Nov-2011 23:03
The country road goes on forever! There's a bit of a Texas feeling here!

Phillip Normanton		14-Nov-2011 22:44
Miles and miles and miles!

An ordinary landscape in a fine composition. v. norbi

Love the flatness and the road leading through the scene to the vanishing point. Beautiful photo with great depth.
