Open Road Collage

Get Pushed Challenge 415
My Get Pushed partner asked me to do something in B&W on the theme of Freedom (interpret as I wish). The first thing I thought of was related to my naturalization. When I started looking at my certificate there was something on it that said " It is punishable by U.S. law to copy, print or photography this certificate." I thought "Whoa! Stop! Find another subject!" Then I thought what activity says "Freedom" more than getting in a car and driving. Teens and seniors allike feel this. And how much fun is a road trip.
@mcsiegle Mary, here is my photo for your challenge. I had to do some thinking and was slightly delayed by the cataract surgery. I had fun anyway. Thank you.

I am very impressed by this especially since your surgery was so recent! I think it’s the perfect interpretation of freedom. I will have some questions for you tomorrow(;

I think this is a perfect illustration for freedom! I love going on trips like this although I haven't had the ability to do it for years. Excellent collage!

@mcsiegle Thank you Mary. Glad you liked it.
@sdutoit Thank you Sylvia
@wakelys Appreciate that Susan
@serendypyty Thanks Cazzi.
@kwind Thanks Kim.
@thewatersphotos Thanks so much Gary.
@craftymeg Thank you Margaret.
@hajeka Thanks Henk-Jan. No. I haven't ridden bikes all that much. I wrecked a bike in front of city hall at lunchtime (traffic) if that tells you anything about my skills.
@will_wooderson Haha! Let's go.
@olivetreeann Thank you. No trips for me like this in awhile. Hopefully things will settle down and I and a sidekick or two can get back out on the road.

@randystreat Yes, I hope we can connect when you come through this area again.

I like your collage and in b&w it's looks sort of old which makes it more interesting to me. When I read your story though what caught my attention was your naturalization and I'm curious about where you are originally from. Hope that's not too bold to ask. I have my grandfathers naturalization papers from Italy.

@olivetreeann Me too. I'll have to try and plan that better.
@jb030958 Thank you. I was born in Canada and moved to the States when I was 4. I was naturalized just before I turned 18, along with my oldest brother. My youngest brother was born here.

@randystreat oh, very nice!

@randystreat keep me posted when you know your plans:
Olivetreeann@mail.com I can send you my phone number again if you need it.
July 12th, 2020  
@olivetreeann I'll have to check my phone. I must have had your number at one time. I won't be coming that way any time soon though.
