Between Smooth Countryside and Threatening Urbanization 
This a mounting of 2 pictures took at the same place but with a gap of approximately 30 years between them.
The place is next to Paris, the capital city of my map
In the old picture at the top, you can admire a peaceful landscape 30 years ago, unaffected by the expansion of Paris and its suburbs (not visible in the picture). Cereral plantations that extend out of sight feed a major part of the Simutransiens. The road is the only sign of the proximity with the city.
30 years later (2nd picture), the area has changed a lot. The expansion of the Metropolis (now 1.200.000 citizens) has reached the countrysides. Cereal plantations are stuck between Noisy-le-grand (30.000 citizens) and Nanterre (60.000 citizens), 2 suburbans cities of Paris. The road has been improve into a double-track highway and somes of the plantations are raze in order to build modern housings, offices and somes plants.
The local farmers union are trying to stop the destruction of their landscapes by investing the sites.
