English Countryside

I am back in Europe for a short while again - that is, if you can call UK Europe.

During the recent Easter vacation, I was really in a mood to sit by a train window and watch the countryside roll-by. And well, did exactly the same - travelled along the eastern coast twice in day light. The Lothian-North Umbria borders are particularly beautiful with their high cliffs facing the sea and snow clad mountains in the distance. Then followed the rolling meadows of Midlands and th fat sheep grazing everywhere. However, the southern part is more or less monotonous after a while. Stretches of green and a few horse farms that aren't unpleasant to look at, but thats about it. Oh yeah, courtesy some rain followed by bright sunlight, I saw a complete rainbow for the first time - a complete, bright semicircle :)
