Germany turns Yellow

Usually the rapsseed is in full bloom at the end of April and the beginning of May. This year our part of Germany already is covered with yellow carpets at the middle of April.

It's a wonderful sight everywhere - although the reason is a bit sad. Rapsseed isn't used for food only any longer, but most of it is made into petrol. I rather cycle every day than to use food for travelling, but there are not enough people thinking like this. 

Soon everything outside will be covered with yellow dust, including my freshly washed windows - that's spring time!

Yesterday we walked in the suddenly green forest again and found the rapsseed fields at it's edge.
