Just got back from a trip to Spain and Portugal.

Basically had culture shock driving down a wide north american road.

It's not just the colors. It's the emptiness.

The clearance of everything in north america is insane. It's just so boring.

Well, if you went to Spain to the Castilles/Aragon, specially to the Serranía Celtibérica area, you would find the same rural emptiness of the US. And, in Asturias/Cantabria/Palencia, at "Picos de Europa", you woudn't believe that these spikey, rough mountains with hard winters belong to Spain.
