It is flat, it is yellow, it has weird trees, it has brown ground.

Those 'weird trees' are oak, willow, ash, sycamore, cherry. Very common or native trees to the UK.

Went for a walk this morning. Beautiful clear skies and a nice green landscape. The first two pictures are my favorite. Two bad there's wires in the first one.

Nice's winter rainfall total wouldn't make any difference, if it was in summer. My area gets higher summer rainfall than Nice's winter, and the grass still gets browned off early.

But your landscape isn't mostly forested. Speaking of my landscape, here's a few photos sitting on my phone from the last week. Humid evening last weekend:



Tuesday morning after biking a big hill (or small mountain?) Thick clouds, not as photogenic as usual:



Another siting of cloud iridescence, not as intense as the previous time

Yeah but your trees look really similar and it is a similar colour of grass.

Nei - what's the biggest hill (or mountain) you've summitted on your bike? We saw a cyclist climbing up the access road to Clingman's Dome, and I wondered if he'd come up all the way from Gatlinburg, which is literally one vertical mile from the top of the Dome. All day to climb, a very fast trip back down.

I bet you achieve some high speeds going back down, huh?
