This is what the countryside of Germany looked like the whole time we were there. Everywhere we went, rolling green hills and fields, deep green forests, and tiny storybook towns. Absolutely gorgeous.



One thing I was trying to capture in this picture that didn't really come through was the windmill. It's the classic scale problem, something that you consider to be huge in real life might be just a speck in a photograph.



Throughout Germany, there were these gigantic modern windmills, gleaming white and high tech, looking like giant propellers dotting the landscape, each seemed to be over a hundred feet tall. When I took this photo, there was one of these windmills that totally dominated the horizon. In this photo, it was so small you would hardly notice it. It doesn't help that the sky is overexposed and washes it out completely.
