Fields of Gold

In Germany (and on the continent in general), most people travel by train. I became an expert trip planner using the DeutscheBahn website, and greatly enjoyed watching the German countryside fly by me out the window as I reclined on their clean and efficient trains. One thing I saw a lot of was rapeseed, which seemed to be one of the main crops around Europe. I was so used to seeing fields of corn in the US, none of which I saw while traveling abroad. In Europe, it was grains and rapeseed, which lit up the Earth with tiny yellow flowers. So much of what I saw out of train windows was fields of gold.

Everything looked like this.
