European Tribune - Comments - A Farewell to Autumn

Great photos. The amount of beautiful, sparsely populated landscape you have documented in Central Europe is impressive and would be hard to duplicate, outside of parks and wilderness areas, in the USA.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

Re: A Farewell to Autumn (none / 0)

Actually, those beautiful, sparsely populated landscapes were either in parks and wilderness areas, or settlements were just behind the mountain or behind the photographer's back :-)

Country	Persons/km²	Persons/mi²
Germany	229.3	594.0
Czech Republic	132.8	344.1
Slovakia	110.5	286.1
Hungary	108.5	281.1
Slovenia	101.2	262.1
Austria	99.6	258.1
USA	32.0	82.9

From Wikipedia. Also from Wikipedia, US states with comparable or higher population density:

State	Persons/km²	Persons/mi²
New Jersey	452.2	1,171.1
Rhode Island	390.8	1,012.3
Massachusetts	317.6	822.7
Connecticut	279.1	722.9
Maryland	221.9	574.8

Florida	130.7	338.4
Ohio	108.1	280.0
Pennsylvania	107.1	277.4
California	90.5	234.4

Your Arkansas has just 54.4 persons per square miles.

The big difference is that European towns are almost uniformly beautiful.
