Travel Inspiration

While I travel, my best friend tends to be my camera. This trip, I had to buy a new memory card, I took so many photos (by the way, souvenir shops on the way to Musee d'Orsay- ripoff on memory cards)! I figured I'd start with Germany, since we only spent one or two days in London, and I want to keep my museum visits in separate posts.




These three images are of the mustard fields in Germany. The first is from along the road from Hamburg to Rostock, and the other two are from Rostock to Rerik and Rostock to Berlin. Having traveled by train in the US, and driven, etc, and growing up in the suburbs, such vast amounts of farmland are astonishing. Not only farmland, but primarily mustard crops. I'd never seen mustard in anything other than a jar before, and the color, even on cloudy days, took my breath away. As I mentioned in an earlier post, there were often trails or green or brownish fields bordering the mustard, leading me to the idea of a bright yellow egg with green or brownish trails.

  1. Yeah, and those were all taken on cloudy days! Imagine if the sun was out in full force!
