This is a photo I took a few miles west of Rothenburg O.D.T, Germany. The crops look like crops you'd find in South Dakota. But you wouldn't find a road like this because traffic safety officials would never allow the trees to line the road.My observation about Europe is that one difference is that from time to time aesthetics will trump safety - as in this great road. (For those wanting to see this photo in geographic context, go to "Backroads Bavaria" on my Panoramio site. If yo zoom in on the satellite map view, you will even see the trees from the satellite's point of view.

It's Not That Different
in Travel
This is rural Germany, just outside of Rothenburg o.d.T. So why is my first post from our trip to Germany and Slovenia a scene like this? One possibility is that while foreign travel is about seeking and savoring the differences that foreign countries have to offer, there are times when I miss home.
Another possibility is that I liked the cool green and strong blue colors in this scene.
