Not the greatest photos but i post them anyway.
I made a small bike tour.
It was very hot, about 33-34°C when i started.
I was impressed by how many Germans I saw biking in hot weather.

It looks like a firetruck cemetary.
I turned around here.
Those dirt roads in wooded areas remind me of home, but the flat farmland doesn't. Are all those forests natural? Or are some tree plantations (species chosen by humans for lumber production)? I was unsure what Czech forests were, I think it was a mix.

On the way back i've seen some lightning strikes in the distance.
An approaching thunderstorm is a good incentive to bike faster.
Are there any parts of the US with a similar landscape to the pics I posted a few pages back? Very flat, with crop fields and woodland.
There's something about it that looks very non-American. Most of the area is cropland, with only woodland as the border between farmland. Much of the Midwest is mostly farmland, but the farm sizes are larger and more regular looking. Pennsylvania is more intensively farmed than New York State or New England and farms are smaller scale than further west.
Other noticeable difference is the houses are all concentrated in compact villages rather than partially scattered in the countryside. Btw, the local language of most that area was German 100 years ago.

I don't know if they're natural, it's probably a mix like it is with the Czech forests.

Many parts of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Northern Missouri, etc look like that also.

England looks nothing like America.
