Note: This is the second photograph in a new category on Germany Ja! Do you have a picture that says “This is Germany” and want to share it with us? It can be a place, a person, a plate of food… whatever says “Germany” to you. We don’t need a lot of words to go with it, because a picture is worth… well, you know! If you have a picture to share, send it to submissions @germanyja.com. Danke!

Ariel submitted a picture of a beautiful field of yellow rapeseed, that will later become canola oil. The German word for the plant is Raps. The flowers only bloom for a few short weeks, usually in May.

Ariel says, “My husband took this picture out in one of the field close to our town. I just love all the seas of yellow in bloom right now!”
