Italian landscape
Just me taking some picture of one side of the hill about 1km from where i live.
I am told by people in the USA that the italian landscapes are very lively and very nice.
I believe this just means that you can see the mountains on this side of the hill, whereas if you were on the other side of the hill you would be able to see the sea.
USA seems to have 2 modes:
• sprawling megalopolises of several million people.
(New York allegedly is "8" million people but if you count all the infrastructure needed for those 8 million people to live... you basically get more than 22 million people, without counting all the occasional jobs or tourism)
• sparse, town in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
(the number of towns with a population under 5000 holds about 75% of the USA population with those under 500 individuals holding 42% of the population)
So... USA has a population of about 36 people per square km. Italy has 206. What does this mean?
My nation has only 3 "big cities" and the biggest (Rome) is about the same size as Huston (TX) with Naples (the third) about the same size as Austin (TX). And just about the same mentality and living prices too. The second is Milan who is comparable to San Jose (CA) (also about the same mentality and living prices).
Going from one city to the next you do not find that much empty space... it's all like in this picture.
Tons of isolated houses that are *less* than 500 meters apart and used to "deal" with "it" (whatever "it" is) by either doing stuff by themselves or calling upon nearby people.
You're never truly alone as you can easily reach a main road connecting a valley from the bottom to get wherever you want... which... is more or less the same as in the USA except you do not need to travel 20 km to reach a highway. Usually you find one in 5 km or less. And the nearest hospital is never more than 20 km away (if you were just rejected because they do not have space there is at least 1 more in less than 20 km).

Most of our agriculture is in shambles too.
The way our landscape is agriculture is not just difficult but dangerous, every year around here somebody gets badly injured due to some equipment taking a slide down the hillside.
And even when nothing happens due to how hard it is and the fact we need special (and costly) equipment to farm these hillsides the revenue is next to zero.
Certainly not enough to make a living.
What with how much it costs to repair stuff.

yeah, beautiful!
You know, you are probably wondering why people argue that you have beautiful picturesque nature? And I'll explain to you, follow the link https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DwCdISt.....NKHY.jpg:large , there will be a photograph of the place where I live, and you will understand that not everyone is lucky with beautiful landscapes.
Sometimes this urbanization is just disgusting.

Полностью поддерживаю, RaRiz!))
Будь у меня возможность, хотел бы больше посещать заказники с палаткой. Но сейчас сам знаешь, эта пандемия уже достала. Урбанизация и самый главный ее босс - индустриализация, это точно нас кормит, якобы дает работу и то, что рано или позно нас погубит. Это печально.(
p.s. Надеюсь, что у вас будет все хорошо! Я вне политики, поэтому не вата. И рад встретить знакомые словеса! Спасибо за твой ответ!))

Я конечно не фаталист, Но... Думаю скоро все изменится. RaRiz, вы правы, это мечты, главной нашей проблемой стала гордыня и вседозволенность над Природой. Пока мы играем в богов, я вижу как на Земле происходит все больше аномалий и катаклизмов. Боже мой, да у нас в центре России ураганы и торнадо ходят, мы же не Техас или Флорида... а уже есть! Все сожгло! Все высушило! И затопило наводнениями. Зимой, то снега вообще нет, то занесет под верхние 3-е этажи. У вас наверно тоже не сладко.
... И это мы еще только в начале пути!
Если коротко... я считаю, что скоро начнется голод, а за ним очень долгая зима, а не жара как многие думают.
Природа нас всех накажет.
Поэтому берегите себя!

Yes, I know that you like it. You have a lot of robotics in your artwork. That is why I follow your work, cyborgs ladies are interesting.
As for the waltz dance in the industrial zone ... Well ... Hmm ... I don’t know, not everything is so romantic in reality, although I think that for your inspiration, you should take an excursion to the industrial metallurgical zones.

It's not very impressive scenery but it does look "cozy" in the sense of having been lived in for a long time. This was the impression I got from the British countryside when I visited there. The Greek landscape around Athens was not very impressive but Crete was charming. The most breathtaking Greek scenery was at Meteora.
For some reason your commentary reminds me of the tragic case of the "Death Valley Germans." Being accustomed to Europe, where you are never more than a two hour hike away from civilization, they had no understanding of the scale of the United States and just how vast & empty some parts of it are. They got lost in Death Valley, and ... well ... they died.

We used to have a functioning passenger rail system but we scrapped it in favor of highways, so everyone can drive wherever they please in their own private vehicle. This pisses me off to no end. I really don't want to own a car, but where I live it's a necessity. You're isolated without one; there are no other options. It would take me all day to walk to the grocery store and back, and I wouldn't dare ride a bicycle because our roads are built for CARS, DAMN IT!! and it is every red-blooded American's duty to run cyclists off the road.
