The picture is real. It shows the Rheinturm ("Rhine Tower") at Duesseldorf in April or May of 2021. The writing says "Vaccinate =Freedom".

Used to be very common in Germany (West and East). There were numerous highways that could be turned into runways. The posts in the middle separating highway lanes could be removed. The parking areas were more spacious than usual. Look for "Ersatzpiste" on Youtube and you will find a short...
