@VoidTorcher No, a very different look than ours :) Our landscape "bares its bones", while yours (at least in many parts) covers it with vegetation :) Very nice in its own way! I can only think of a few big ones there that go through forests - for example:

We do have a fair number that go through low scrub - for example:

But most are "water, rock and moss" :)
