Mmmh...
I don't know this region, but I think that they're really "lots of open spaces" in Castilla. endika

I'm British but I live in Torrelodones near Madrid, Spain.

Nice this, Brent. I agree too: I like the streets like this :o) In fact, I'm a little town boy living in a city; some days it's a bit hard to suffer... endika

Frank: You say "here in Spain"... Where are you from? Where is "here"?

I do so agree with you Brent. Here in Spain we are very lucky that it's a big (for Europe) country with a lowish population so lots of open spaces. Nevertheless, like everywhere else development continues apace........

I don't know if it is the same there, Frank. Here they pay someone to get the fields to look like this :-) This is a section of land that has been given over to parkland and they are changing it over to Oak Savanahs. It has some really huge old oaks - they cut back the shrub trees in order to give the Oaks room to grow... Very pretty. Better use than funding a new Walmart IMO. The area is huge - in the area of the city where I live there are a lot of huge natural park areas. It is sad to see so much land going over to development - but it is heartening to know that someone is preserving some land as well.

Nice image Brent. Looks like the town council needs to get the lawn mower out on this street! - Frank

Um like ya know I was so totally like kidding right? Like do you live on a farm er sumthing? I bet there are lots of bugs huh? Gross!
Yes Badlands is a magical place. It does however have that feel of being 1000 sq miles of cemetary. I like this pic very much in all it's light filled simplicity.

And I quote from Flick's lead in post

"If you don't live in a city, no worries: your street could be a country track or trail and the occupiers farm workers or even livestock or wildlife"

Harumph!

Isn't it amazing that something so simple could light up so well? I want to go to South Dakota where my Dad grew up (they had a ranch outside Wall - near the Badlands)

Um like the theme is called "street life" this is so totally not a picture of a street.
It is however a splendid shot.
